Jordan Emerges as New Front in U.S.-Iran Conflict

Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated in recent weeks. In the past five days, Iranian forces launched four attacks against U.S. troops stationed in Jordan. The attacks mark a new geographic focus for the ongoing U.S.-Iran confrontation. One of the strikes took place on Friday. That Friday attack killed two American soldiers. It also left another U.S. service member unaccounted for. U.S. officials confirmed the casualties and the missing personnel. The incidents raise concerns about the security of U.S. forces in the region.
