The United States mistook the drone that killed its soldiers for one of its own and did not activate its anti-aircraft defense. The problem was also aggravated because the base attacked, called Tower 22, was a small military installation.

Of the 34 wounded soldiers, eight have had to be transferred out of Jordan for medical treatment. Now, the reaction of the United States is pending. According to the media, this will focus on the Iranian forces and their allies in Syria and Iraq who, according to some sources, have begun to evacuate their positions.
