Both were killed while stationed in Jordan after Iran struck the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base with missiles and drones on Friday.
  • One still missing: The toll in Jordan may rise: Another soldier remains missing, and remains recovered on Sunday are believed to be the soldier's, reports the New York Times. Four other troops required medical evacuation, but all have been discharged from the hospital.

  • The others: The AP lists the other 14 US fatalities since the conflict began in February, a toll that includes six soldiers killed by an Iranian drone strike at a civilian port in Kuwait.
  • Other side: Iranian authorities, meanwhile, say that at least 50 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded by US strikes in the past three weeks. The toll includes eight killed in a strike on a bridge Friday. The US struck Iranian sites for the ninth straight night on Sunday, notes CNBC.
