A third US service member has now been confirmed dead after Iran’s ballistic missile and drone attack on a military base in Jordan, taking the total number of American military deaths since the conflict began to 18. The Pentagon identified Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad of New York after earlier confirming the deaths of Tyler James Feehan and Isabella Gonzales.
