A drone has struck a tent of sleeping troops in Jordan, killing US troops in the Middle East for the first time since the war in Gaza began. The US has blamed Iran-backed militant groups, but is yet to identify who specifically they believe is responsible.

Three American troops have been killed and 34 injured in a drone attack in Jordan.

Those killed in the attack were sleeping in a tent at a place called Tower 22 in northeast Jordan, near the Syria border.

US President Joe Biden said the attack was carried out by “radical Iran-backed militant groups” in Syria and Iraq.

    You can almost set your clock to the protests outside of US military bases in South Korea.

    Like there are US personnel whose entire mission is to die as a speed bump during a North Korean invasion and yet many South Koreans want them out.

    People are dumb.
