Dead US soldiers in Jordan: USA does not want war with Iran - but reaction could be violent. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says situation in the Middle East is more dangerous than it has been for a long time.

The drone attack on the US base in Jordan probably resulted from a fatal misjudgment by the US military. It was therefore unclear whether it was a friendly drone or an enemy drone. This uncertainty ultimately claimed the lives of three US soldiers, and at least 34 others are said to have been injured.
