- President Donald Trump is set to attend a dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base Wednesday for four U.S. service members who died in recent fighting in the Middle East.
- The fallen include two U.S. Army soldiers killed in Iranian missile and drone attacks in Jordan, a third soldier presumed dead after disappearing during the Jordan attacks, and another soldier killed in Iraq by an Iranian drone.
- Trump stated that these troops died while working to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and he described attending the ceremony as a "great honor."
- Since the conflict began on February 28, 18 U.S. service members have been killed, prompting Trump to issue a warning that Iran would "pay for that killing many times over" if another American service member dies.
- The Defense Department identified the service members as 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, and Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, with Feehan and Swinton receiving posthumous promotions and awards.
