President Donald Trump received the coffins of four American soldiers killed in recent days in Jordan and Iraq, according to Abu Ali Express. The fallen were identified as 1st Lt. Tyler Feehan, Sgt. Michael Swinton, Sgt. Angel Rampersad, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales. The ceremony follows earlier reports today that Trump had arrived at Dover Air Force Base for the transfer of remains, as The Zioneer reported at 18:01 Jerusalem.
The White House initially announced on Monday that Trump would travel to Dover to receive the remains of soldiers killed in Jordan. Later that day, reports from N12 and a White House statement indicated Trump was en route, with Trump saying the duty was "one of the hardest things as president." By 20:12 Jerusalem, Trump had arrived at Dover, joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine. At that stage, reports referred to three soldiers killed in the Iranian attack in Jordan. The current update raises the total to four, including a soldier killed in Iraq, and releases their names.
The event follows a series of US strikes on Iranian targets, which Trump said were a tribute to the fallen soldiers, as The Zioneer reported on Monday. Trump has also directed that Iran pay multiple times for every US soldier killed.
No further details have been provided on the circumstances of the fourth soldier's death in Iraq.
