Donald Trump says troops gave their lives "in service of our country" after Jordan attack deaths

In a brief phone call, former President Donald Trump reacted to the deaths of two American service members during an Iranian assault in Jordan, calling the loss tragic and emphasizing that the troops gave their lives while serving the nation. He reaffirmed that Washington’s core aim is keeping Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. The U.S. military followed up with another wave of airstrikes against Iranian targets—the seventh consecutive night of operations—in part as retaliation for the attack. Iran then announced it was pulling out of a recent interim agreement with the United States, accusing Washington of breaking the deal. The exchange has deepened hostilities between the two countries, raising concerns over regional stability and global energy supplies.
