A drone strike in northeastern Jordan near the border with Syria has killed three U.S. soldiers and wounded many others. US President Joe Biden said in a statement.

The attack happened last night US time, he said.

Biden accused "extremist Iranian-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq" of being behind the attack.

"Have no doubt that we will hold them accountable at a time and in a way that we choose," the president said in a statement, according to international media outlets.

US Central Command said 25 people were wounded in the drone strike.

"Jill and I join the family and friends of our fallen soldiers in mourning the loss of these fighters in this despicable and completely unjust attack," Biden said.

He calls the fallen "patriots" and says:

We will continue their commitment to fight terrorism.

First soldiers killed since Hamas attack


It is the first time U.S. soldiers have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since Hamas's attack on Israel in October.

There have been attacks on US bases in the region during the period, but no casualties have been reported until now.


The drone attack comes at a time when the United States is trying to avoid tensions in the Middle East rising.

The war in Gaza has already resulted in the Houthi movement in Yemen attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea in sympathy with the Palestinians.

The United States wants to deter both the Houthi rebels in Yemen and the Lebanese Hezbollah militia, Gen. Charles Q. Brown said in an interview with ABC that aired this morning U.S. time and was recorded before the attack.

"The aim is to deter them and we don't want to go down a path of major escalation leading to a much wider conflict in the region.

Until Friday, there had been 158 attacks on U.S. soldiers and coalition forces in Iraq and Syria, CNN reported.

The Pentagon denied last week that it saw signs that Iranian militants were stepping up their attacks on U.S. forces.
