Trump Blames Jordan After Deaths of US Troops Amid Iran Conflict Tensions
US President Donald Trump has criticised Jordan after the deaths of American soldiers on Jordanian territory, saying the incident could have been prevented if US forces had been directly responsible for security operations.
Speaking at the White House, Trump claimed Iran had moved weapons or equipment through Jordanian territory and argued that allowing others to handle security responsibilities can create risks.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said US troops were killed in Jordan and claimed to have destroyed a radar system. The group also alleged attacks on US-linked facilities in Bahrain as retaliation for strikes on Iran.
Jordan’s military said its air defence systems intercepted three missiles launched from Iran, with no casualties or damage reported. The incident comes amid rising regional tensions linked to the wider US-Iran conflict.
