Coverage Comparison
Reports from multiple outlets detail the sequence of events. Al Jazeera reported that two US service members were killed in Iranian strikes in Jordan and that President Trump described the deaths as "a very sad thing," adding that "we're never allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon." Later updates from Al Jazeera noted that the latest strikes on Iran were carried out "in honour" of the American military personnel killed in Jordan and Iraq, with total US casualties since the war began reaching 17 killed and more than 420 wounded.
Deutsche Welle, citing US Central Command (CENTCOM), reported that two US soldiers were killed and one is missing in action after Iranian attacks in Jordan. CENTCOM stated that US troops and partner forces had been "defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks."

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
