US base hit in Jordan. Washington warns: 'We will respond' Three American soldiers died in a nighttime drone attack on a US position in north-eastern Jordan, near the border with Syria.
The Islamic Resistance group in Iraq (coalition of pro-Iranian Shiite militias) claimed responsibility for the attack. Iran had denied being involved. It is also the first attack since the start of the war in Gaza on US troops in Jordan, a key ally country in the Middle East where around 3,000 American troops are stationed.
