Pentagon ID's 2 soldiers killed in Iran strike in Jordan; 1 still missing

The Pentagon has identified two U.S. Army soldiers killed in an Iranian strike on a military base in Jordan over the weekend. A third service member was also missing in action from the attack, U.S.

Central Command said. Unidentified remains were later found in the area, the military said Sunday. The Pentagon said Monday that 19-year-old Pvt.

Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, Texas, was killed in action on Friday during an attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, and that 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, was killed in action on Saturday. The Pentagon said the soldiers were supporting Operation Inherent Resolve, the name for the U.S.

mission against the Islamic State group. They were assigned to the Army Air Missile Defense Command. Four other U.S.

service members were medically evacuated to a hospital in Jordan and have since been discharged. Other service members were treated for minor injuries, according to the military. A U.S.

official had previously confirmed to CBS News that the attack occurred at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. The location of the strike was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The Pentagon said Gonzales was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 10th Army Air Missile Defense Command, in Ansbach, Germany.

Gonzales' friends described her as outgoing, spontaneous, and someone who loved to dance. They told CBS News Texas she left for boot camp exactly one year ago. "I think she really did want to make people proud of who she was," Zuleyka Acosta said.

"She wanted to be very disciplined, and she wanted people to view her as someone who was very brave." Feehan was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 32nd Army Air Missile Defense Command, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump will attend the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base. Leavitt originally said the dignified transfer would take place Tuesday evening, but said later Monday it had been rescheduled , although the exact date and time were not yet known.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reacted to the deaths of the U.S. service members in a social media post saying, "Godspeed, heroes." "Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve," Hegseth said on X . Following that Iranian attack, U.S.

forces launched a new round of airstrikes against Iran at the direction of President Trump, CENTCOM said Saturday evening. It marked the eighth straight night of strikes on Iran since ceasefire talks broke down, and the strikes continued the following day as well. "The strikes are designed to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces who launched attacks against American service members in Jordan last night," CENTCOM said.

The deaths in the latest round of fighting mark the 15th and 16th among U.S. service members in the war with Iran. Prior to Saturday, the most recent death was that of a U.S.

Navy pilot who died when his MH-60S helicopter made an emergency landing at sea last month, though the Navy said there was "no indication" of hostile action. Six service members were killed in an Iranian attack on a base in Kuwait in March. Also in March, six were killed when a refueling plane crashed in Iraq, and one was killed in an Iranian strike on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
