The U.S. military identified Sgt. Angel S. on Monday as the third service member believed to have been killed in an attack on a base in Jordan. The incident occurred on Friday and has been attributed by U.S. officials to Iranian-backed forces.
The announcement came as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate, stating that the ongoing conflict with Iran has cost the United States approximately $37.5 billion to date. In response to the drone strike in Jordan and other regional escalations, the U.S. military conducted an 11th night of strikes against targets in Iran.
Government officials stated that the identify of the third soldier was withheld until next-of-kin notifications were completed. The names of the other two service members killed in the same attack were released earlier in the weekend. The U.S. continues to evaluate its strategic response to the strike on the Jordanian outpost.
