In a statement, the Defense Department said that 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, were killed in the July 17 attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base.<\/p>\n

U.S. officials said an Iranian ballistic missile struck the base.<\/p>\n

Another service member was reported missing after the strike. U.S. Central Command said Sunday that \u201cunidentified remains\u201d were found at the site. An examination process to verify the remains is ongoing, military officials said, but the discovery could mean that the death toll from the Iranian strike will rise to three.<\/p>\n

Separately, CENTCOM said that another service member was killed in Iraq on Saturday during the \u201ccontrolled detonation\u201d of a downed Iranian drone.<\/p>\n

The weekend casualties were the first U.S. combat deaths in the Iran war since March.<\/p>\n\n

At least 17 Americans have been killed in combat since the war began on Feb. 28, according to Pentagon data. More than 400 have been wounded.<\/p>\n

The U.S. launched massive airstrikes against Iranian targets in the hours after the American deaths.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters late Sunday that the U.S. successfully intercepted most of the Iranian missiles fired at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, but one \u201cleaked through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s heartbreaking,\u201d Mr. Rubio said. \u201cAnd our hearts go out to the families of the heroes that paid the ultimate price.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur military all over the world, especially in that part of the world but all over the world every single day, do very dangerous things,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had people who have lost their lives in training. Nothing the military does is safe. It\u2019s all inherently dangerous. And we\u2019re just grateful to have such heroic Americans in uniform in service of our country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
