In a recent statement released by the President, addressing the nation for the first time since the strikes began, he confirmed that three American soldiers had been killed in Jordan by a drone launched by Iran-backed militant groups. The President stated that he attended the dignified return of the fallen soldiers at Dover Air Force Base and had spoken with each of their families. As a response to this tragic event, the President directed military forces to strike facilities in Iraq and Syria that were used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its affiliated militias to target US forces.
The President emphasized that the United States is not seeking conflict in the Middle East or any other part of the world. However, he delivered a stern warning to those who might seek to harm Americans, stating that any such actions would be met with a response. He underlined that retaliation would be carried out at times and places determined by the US.
