Centcom: Casualties from the attack on the US military base in Jordan has risen to 34
The US Central Command (Centcom) announced on Monday that the number of casualties among US forces following a drone attack on a military base in Jordan had risen to 34.
Central Command reported in a statement that 3 US soldiers were killed as a result of a unilateral drone attack on a base in northeastern Jordan, near the Syrian border.
Centcom added that the number of wounded had increased from 25 to at least 34, and that 8 of them had to be transferred outside Jordan to receive a higher level of care.
The number of injuries may change as other individuals at the base continue to be evaluated.
The attack on US forces in Jordan is the first of its kind since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, and the first to result in American deaths.
In turn, Iran’s representation at the United Nations announced that its country had nothing to do with the attack on an US base in Jordan.
The representative office said in a statement on Monday, “Iran has nothing to do with this attack… The conflict is a mutual revenge between the US forces and the resistance forces in the region,” according to the official Iranian news agency IRNA.
A group called the Iraqi Islamic Resistance claimed, in a statement on its Telegram channel, that its fighters attacked, using drones, four enemy bases, three of which are in Syria, which are al Shaddadi Base, al Rukban Base, and al Tanf Base, and the fourth is inside our occupied Palestinian territories, which is the Zavulun facility.
The Iraqi Islamic Resistance announces that it repeatedly attacks the bases where American and coalition forces are stationed in response to the attacks in Gaza.
