The death count from the Iran war has risen to 17 as the U.S. military suffered three deaths in recent days in the Middle East, U.S. Central Command (Centcom) said. Two service members died in an Iranian attack on U.S. troops in Jordan on Friday, the Pentagon said, and another service member died in northern Iraq on Saturday during a “controlled detonation” of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone. The U.S. has ramped up its strikes in retaliation, targeting multiple Iranian military sites and communications networks to “further diminish Iran’s ability to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz,” Centcom said. #iran #straitofhormuz #pentagon
