Iranian attacks killed two other American soldiers last week. On July 17, 25-year-old Army First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan of Hawaii and 19-year-old Private Isabella Gonzales of Texas died in Iranian attacks on a base in Jordan.
The attacks injured four other service members. They were taken to Jordanian hospitals and have since been discharged.
