CBS News reported on Friday that two US soldiers and one service member were missing following Iranian strikes on the Muwaffaq Salti Base in Jordan.
Iran carried out three additional strikes against US forces in Jordan the same week.
“Those attacks injured dozens of US service members and damaged several helicopters,” NYT wrote, citing US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“But the Pentagon did not disclose the earlier strikes, nor the casualties and damage they inflicted,” the paper added.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) is not required to release information about injured service members, a US military official said in response to the Iranian attacks last week.
