A third American service member died on Saturday during a controlled detonation of an Iranian drone’s ordnance, U.S. Central Command announced Sunday.
U.S. troops were carrying out a controlled detonation of the unexploded ordnance on a downed Iranian attack drone in northern Iraq. CENTCOM did not elaborate on what went wrong, but in the process one American was killed while another suffered minor injuries. The military did not identify the deceased, citing policies to withhold the name until family is notified.
The fatal incident comes a day after two U.S.

Six Coast Guard fast-response cutters are now operating in the western Pacific after more than two decades in the Middle East, in the latest shift of forces to that theater.
Last week the Coast Guard announced that the six Sentinel-class cutters that made up Patrol Forces Southwest Asia are now on the other side of the world, with a mission to “protect the homeland and maritime approaches including Guam and the Pacific Islands.”
The ships are now operating out of Singapore and Subic Bay in the Philippines, Janes reported.
Iran may be tracking concentrations U.S. troops across the Middle East using a telecommunications vulnerability that security researchers have been screaming about for more than a decade, according to reporting from the Financial Times.
Iranian intel came from a standard practice in the global phone network, first implemented in the 1970s, and a secondary exploit built from the same advertising software that decides which ads follow you around the internet.

Ukraine Says It Destroyed a Russian Tu-95 Bomber 500 Miles Inside Russia: Ukraine says its long-range drones flew roughly 800 kilometers, or 500 miles, into Russia and destroyed a Tu-95 strategic bomber at Engels Air Base. The Security Service of Ukraine said the aircraft suffered critical damage and that its tail section was completely torn off.
President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the operation in a July 17 statement, saying the Tu-95 had been used to launch missile attacks against Ukraine.
Donald Trump entered the Iran war with more opposition than support, and nearly five months of fighting have made the political problem worse. The president still holds the loyalty of most MAGA Republicans, but polling since early March shows independents, non-MAGA Republicans, and voters focused on household costs moving away from his strategy.
A March 3 YouGov survey found that 48 percent of Americans disapproved of the initial U.S. attacks, while 37 percent approved. Independents were more than twice as likely to oppose the operation as to support it.
Iraq Is Sending Thousands of Fuel Trucks Through Syria to Bypass Hormuz: Iraq is moving fuel oil by truck through Syria and Jordan as Baghdad tries to keep exports flowing without relying on the Strait of Hormuz. Thousands of tanker trucks are making four- to six-day journeys from Iraqi refineries to Mediterranean and Red Sea ports, creating an expensive but immediate route around the disrupted waterway.
Iraq’s Oil Ministry estimates that about 1 million metric tons of fuel oil were moved by truck to Syria and Jordan in June, twice the May volume.
