The US military announced Monday that 25-year-old 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan was killed in action after an enemy attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. Feehan was assigned to Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
Susan and I are saddened to hear of the loss of one of Fort Bragg’s own, First Lieutenant Tyler Feehan. He served our nation with honor and made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom. We are praying for his family and the entire Fort Bragg community.…

Military officials also identified Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, who was assigned to Ansbach, Germany, as another service member killed in the recent attacks.
According to military officials, Feehan was killed on July 18, while Gonzales was killed on July 17. The incident remains under investigation.
The announcement came as the United States launched another round of airstrikes against targets in Iran early Monday. Military officials said the strikes targeted military command centers, air defense systems, coastal surveillance sites, missile and drone launch locations, maritime capabilities, and communications networks.
The latest attacks mark the ninth consecutive night of U.S. strikes as the conflict continues to expand.
