Another American soldier lost in the Middle East — the U.S. military confirms a third service member is dead after an Iranian missile and drone attack in Jordan, raising the total U.S. casualties to 18. Sergeant Angel Rampersad, 28, from New York, is now believed deceased, while another soldier, Sergeant Michael Swinton, 30, from North Carolina, died in Iraq during a drone detonation. With the U.S. launching its 11th straight night of strikes on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed the conflict has already cost $37.5 billion. President Trump is expected to attend a dignified ceremony for the fallen, though details are still pending.
