US officials have identified a third American soldier killed in an Iranian strike on a military base in Jordan, as President Trump ordered an 11th consecutive night of retaliatory strikes against Iran. The confirmation comes as the conflict, now approaching five months in duration, continues to escalate, with rising US casualties fuelling growing scrutiny of the administration's handling of the war.

The named soldier is Angel Rampersad, whose death brings the confirmed US military toll from the Jordan base attack to three. The strike has intensified pressure on Trump, with a separate poll reportedly showing a critical assessment from the American public of his management of the widening conflict with Iran.
