Three US troops have been killed and dozens injured in a drone attack on a US base near Jordan’s border with Syria.
US President Joe Biden said that the attack was carried out by “radical Iran-backed militant groups”.
This is the first time US soldiers have been killed in a strike in the region after Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel.
Jordan says the attack took place in Syria, not inside Jordan.
There have been other attacks on US bases in the region but so far there have been no casualties reported by the US army.
It is not clear who is behind this latest attack.
President Biden said the US “will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner of our choosing”.
The White House said Mr Biden was briefed Sunday morning on the attack by US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin and other officials.
The names of the servicemen killed and injured have not yet been released as officials work to notify their families.
US media report that at least 34 military personnel were being evaluated for possible traumatic brain injury, and that some of the injured soldiers were medically evacuated from the base for further treatment.
They also say that the drone struck the living quarters, which, if confirmed, could explain the high number of casualties.
US Central Command and President Biden said the attack was on a base in northeastern Jordan, near the Syrian border. It did not name the base.
A Jordanian government spokesman, Muhannad Moubaideen, however, told state TV that the attack targeted al-Tanf base in Syria.
In December, US officials said that US bases in Iraq and Syria had been attacked at least 97 times since 17 October.
Last month, the US carried out airstrikes against Iran-affiliated groups after three US servicemembers were injured, one critically, in a drone attack on a base in northern Iraq.
Earlier in January, one retaliatory US strike in Baghdad killed a militia leader accused of being behind attacks on US personnel.
In a pre-recorded interview with ABC News that aired on Sunday morning, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen CQ Brown said that America’s aim in the region is to “not have the conflict broaden”.
US and coalition troops are also stationed in the Red Sea after the Iran-backed Houthis began attacking commercial ships in the region. The Yemen-based group says it is targeting vessels in the region in support of Palestinians in Gaza, where Israel is fighting Hamas.
The US military has previously said “these unlawful actions have nothing to do with the conflict in Gaza”.
Two Navy Seals are presumed dead after they went missing in January during an operation off the coast of Somalia to seize Iranian-made weapons bound for Houthis in Yemen.
