U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin apologizes for his handling of his cancer diagnosis.
Austin: "The president will not tolerate attacks on American troops, and neither will I" Two US soldiers were killed in the drone attack near the Syrian border on Sunday. The US government blamed the group “Islamic Resistance in Iraq,” which had previously claimed responsibility for the attack. The Pentagon is still investigating the drone that hit Tower 22, a US military base in northeastern Jordan that is crucial to the US presence in neighboring Syria.
