TL;DR Summary

The U.S. is bolstering air defenses at a base in northeast Jordan following a deadly drone attack that killed three American soldiers and injured over 40 others. The outpost, known as Tower 22, lacked the same level of air defenses as bases in Iraq and Syria, and the Pentagon is investigating how the drone evaded these defenses. This attack marks the first time a drone has landed on the Jordanian side of the border, and it comes amid a series of attacks on U.S. forces in the region by Iranian-backed groups.
