President Donald Trump attended a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base for four US service members killed in Iranian attacks, calling it his hardest duty as commander-in-chief. Two soldiers died when a missile struck Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, another was killed in the same incident, and a fourth died during a drone detonation in Erbil, Iraq. The US has over 50,000 troops in the region, with 18 service members killed since military operations against Iran began in February. Trump has warned Tehran of severe retaliation for further American deaths.
