Reaction to drone strike on US troops in Jordan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Three US service members were killed and as many as 34 wounded, United States officials said on Sunday, after a drone attack in Jordan that they linked to Iranian-backed militants.

The attack is a major escalation of the tensions in the Middle East sparked by Hamas' attack in Israel on Oct 7 and Israel's retaliatory strikes that have devastated Gaza.

"Iran must be held accountable."

RICK SCOTT, REPUBLICAN US SENATOR FROM FLORIDA

"Iran is blatantly questioning US strength & resolve thanks to @JoeBiden’s appeasement of the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism. It must end."

"Iranian terrorist proxies have crossed a red line with the reported killing of 3 brave US service members and wounding of dozens more."
