Trump criticizes Jordan over US soldiers' deaths on its territory

WASHINGTON, United States — WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump criticized Jordan following the deaths of American soldiers on Jordanian territory, saying the outcome would have been different if US forces had been responsible for the operation. Speaking during a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Trump said the targets had crossed into Jordanian land and that results do not go as desired when the task is left to others. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it killed US soldiers in Jordan and destroyed a radar, and said it struck facilities belonging to the US-based company Amazon in Bahrain in retaliation for attacks on Iran. The Jordanian army said on Monday evening that three missiles launched from Iranian territory were intercepted and downed by air defense systems, with loud explosions heard in several areas. A military source said the missiles caused no casualties or material damage. No further details were immediately available on the circumstances of the reported US soldier deaths or any US response.
