U.S. Central Command announced Saturday that the two troops were killed as American forces responded to Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks targeting the region.
The circumstances surrounding their deaths have not been released. The service members were assigned to support operations tied to the U.S. mission against the Islamic State group.
Their deaths mark two of the latest American casualties in the escalating conflict with Iran, as U.S. forces continue conducting military operations across the Middle East in response to Iranian attacks.
