Three US service members killed in Jordan drone attack, Biden says

Three US service members have been killed and "many" others wounded during an unmanned aerial drone attack on US forces stationed in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border, President Joe Biden has said, blaming Iran-backed groups for the attack. The United States military said in a statement that at least 25 people were injured. "While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq," Biden said in a statement on Sunday. Biden said the US "will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner [of] our choosing." Jordanian state television quoted Muhannad Mubaidin, a spokesperson for Jordan's government, as saying the attack happened outside of the kingdom across the border in Syria. There was no immediate comment from Iran.
