Four Iranian attacks in five days have targeted U.S. troops in Jordan, U.S. officials said, including one on Friday that killed two soldiers and left another service member missing.

The escalation marks a significant shift in the region, with Iran directly targeting American forces stationed in the Hashemite Kingdom. Officials confirm the attacks occurred over a compressed timeframe, raising concerns about Iranian proxy capabilities and intent.

The U.S. has not yet announced retaliatory measures, but the strikes represent the deadliest assault on American personnel in Jordan since the Gaza war began. The missing service member adds urgency to recovery efforts.
