/ Jordan announced on Sunday evening that the attack that killed 3 American soldiers did not take place inside Jordanian territory, hours after the Pentagon announced that a military base in Jordan was attacked by pro-Iranian militias.
Jordanian government spokesman Muhannad Mobaideen said, “Terrorist militias carried out the attack that targeted the Tanf base,” stressing that “the base is outside Jordan’s borders.”
The Al-Tanf base is located on the Syrian border with Jordan and Iraq, but it is part of the Syrian Homs Governorate.
Mobaideen’s statements came after Washington announced that 3 American soldiers were killed and many others were injured in a drone attack on American forces stationed at a base in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border.
Bases housing US forces in the region have been subjected to dozens of attacks over the past few months, coinciding with Israel’s violent attacks on the Gaza Strip.
