Two American Heroes Killed In Iran Attack Identified

The Department of War on Monday released the names of two U.S. Army soldiers killed during an Iranian attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan last week.

Those killed were 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, according to the Pentagon.

Feehan was killed in action on July 18, while Gonzales was killed in action on July 17 during an enemy attack on the base. The Department of War said the incident remains under investigation.

On Sunday, U.S. Central Command said it had recovered unidentified remains in Jordan while searching for a service member who had been reported missing following the July 17 Iranian attack.

CENTCOM also announced that another U.S. service member was killed in northern Iraq on July 18 during the controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone. A second service member was wounded and is receiving treatment for minor injuries.

Speaking to reporters Sunday night, President Donald Trump said the United States launched another wave of strikes against Iran "in honor" of the American troops killed in Jordan after an Iranian ballistic missile attack.

"We control the strait; they don't control anything," Trump continued. "So we'll see what happens. But 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."

With Monday's identification of Feehan and Gonzales, at least 16 U.S. service members have now been publicly identified as having died during the conflict with Iran since March.
