U.S. Central Command, which oversees the Middle East, said the crash in western Iraq on Thursday followed an unspecified incident involving two aircraft in "friendly airspace" and that the other plane landed safely. The crash brings the U.S. death toll in Operation Epic Fury to at least 13 service members, with the seven others killed in combat.

Six US service members have been killed in action, adding that US forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran's initial attacks in the region. Major combat operations continue, the command said.

Does it make any sense to you that Iran was planning preemptive strikes against us and our civilians, knowing full well of the massive military assets we had moved into the region, the aircraft carriers and so on? Obviously, it doesn't, Kelly concluded, while saying she would never repeat such a claim like Jennings did because she would not allow them to use me like a fool.

The way in which they executed the withdrawal from Afghanistan, I think it was an obvious f*cking failure, Hunter Biden said. I think 13 Marines are dead. I think that there was a better way to do it. He continued, saying he could blame it on the generals and other military leaders who reported to the commander-in-chief, but that ultimately, the buck stops with the president and that his father would agree.

The US military launched airstrikes against dozens of Islamic State targets in Syria on Friday in retaliation for an attack on US personnel, two US officials said on Friday. The attacks come after Donald Trump vowed to hit back after an attack last weekend in Syria by a suspected Islamic State member. A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, described the strikes as a large-scale response that included targets across central Syria.

Today in Palmyra, Syria, two United States Army soldiers and one civilian U.S. interpreter were killed, and three were wounded. He continued, The attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting a key leader engagement. Their mission was in support of on-going counter-ISIS / counter-terrorism operations in the region. The soldiers' names, as well as identifying information about their units, are being withheld until 24 hours after the next of kin notification. Parnell wrote that the attack was under active investigation.
