Army IDs 2 victims killed in Jordan air base attack; Trump: Iran will pay 'many times over'

Fox News · back to the audit
The War Department has identified two active-duty Army soldiers killed during an enemy attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan last week as 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas.

They were the first U.S. service members killed since the restart of hostilities amid Iran's violations of President Donald Trump's peace agreement.

A third U.S. service member's remains are being identified, while another was killed Saturday "during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance" in northern Iraq, U.S. Central Command said.

"Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!" Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. "This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine, and every Leader in the Military."

The announcement brought the number of U.S. service members killed since the war began to 17, while more than 420 have been wounded.

Feehan and Gonzales were victims of the Iran attack Friday on Jordan, which remains under investigation.

Feehan was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Gonzales was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, in Ansbach, Germany.

"Godspeed, heroes," War Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote on X. "Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve."

Trump has authorized nine consecutive days of pounding strikes on Iran's coastal military sites and Islamic Revolution Guard Corps forces defying the terms of the now-defunct memorandum of understanding (MOU).

"We hit them very hard again tonight, and we did that in honor of the probably three – it's probably three as opposed to two great patriots," Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews on Sunday night. "We feel very badly, but you know, those great people, those great patriots were out there fighting that Iran could not have a nuclear weapon."
