The Pentagon has identified two U.S. Army soldiers killed in an Iranian strike on a military base in Jordan over the weekend, and confirmed one additional service member remains missing in action. U.S. Central Command announced Sunday that unidentified remains were found in the area following the attack.

Pentagon Names Fallen Service Members

The Department of Defense announced Monday the identities of the fallen soldiers. Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, was killed in action Friday during the attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. First Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, was killed in action Saturday.

Both soldiers were part of the U.S. mission against the Islamic State group, known as Operation Inherent Resolve. They were assigned to the Army Air Missile Defense Command at the time of their deaths.

Jordan Attack Details and Casualties

The attack occurred at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, a fact previously confirmed by a U.S. official to CBS News. The initial location of the strike was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

In addition to the fatalities, four other U.S. service members were medically evacuated to a Jordanian hospital and have since been discharged. Several other service members received treatment for minor injuries sustained in the attack.

U.S. Response and Broader Conflict Context

Following the Iranian attack, U.S. forces, at the direction of President Trump, launched a new series of airstrikes against Iran. U.S. Central Command stated Saturday evening that these strikes were intended to degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and to punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces.

This marks the eighth consecutive night of U.S. strikes on Iran, which began after ceasefire talks reportedly broke down. The U.S. strikes continued into the following day.

The recent deaths bring the total number of U.S. service member fatalities in the conflict with Iran to 15 and 16. Previous incidents include:

  • Six service members killed in an Iranian attack on a base in Kuwait in March.
  • Six service members killed when a refueling plane crashed in Iraq in March.
  • One service member killed in an Iranian strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia in March.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reacted to the deaths of the U.S. service members, stating on social media platform X, "Godspeed, heroes." He added, "Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve."
