Three US soldiers have been killed in a drone attack on an American base in Jordan, near the Syrian border.

They are the first American military fatalities in the region since Israel's war on Gaza began.

US President Joe Biden has blamed Iran-backed armed groups and has promised to respond. Iran has denied involvement.

At least 34 American soldiers were injured in Sunday's strike. Jordan's government expressed its condolences to Biden.

The American base houses a small number of troops involved in anti-ISIL operations.
