US military identifies 2 soldiers killed in Jordan by Iran
from KYW Newsradio Audio On-Demand
The U.S. is expanding its bombing campaign in Iran following the death of a third American servicemember over the weekend. The Defense Department has identified 25-year-old 1st Lt. Tyler Feehan, of Hawaii, and 19-year-old Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, of Texas, as the troops killed in Jordan. U.S. Central Command says another service member was killed in Iraq during the “controlled detonation” of a downed Iranian drone. The military also found human remains there that could be a service member who was missing. President Trump praised the troops while speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews. Some of the U.S. strikes overnight targeted an Iranian port city that's home to a nuclear power plant. Iran has responded by launching an attack targeting Bahrain, the home of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet. Last week, Trump threatened to strike key infrastructure if Tehran didn't return to negotiations and loosen its hold on the Strait of Hormuz. Shipping traffic in the strait has largely stalled. And, gas prices have hit an average of $4 a gallon again. (Photo by Amir Hossein Khorgooei/Anadolu via Getty Images)
