Summary
Trump said Iran would pay “many times over” after three US soldiers were killed in recent days, sharpening US rhetoric as the regional war widens.
The threat came even as mediators floated a new truce proposal, underscoring the split between diplomatic efforts and escalating battlefield losses.
Two of the soldiers were killed in Jordan in Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks, while a third died in Iraq after a drone’s controlled detonation.
Those deaths raised total US military fatalities in the war with Iran, which began in late February, to 17.
