The Pentagon has identified Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York, as the third active-duty soldier killed in an Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. Rampersad was initially listed as missing after the July 17-18 attack, but remains were found and she is now believed to be deceased. Two other soldiers, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales and 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, were previously confirmed killed. Rampersad enlisted in 2019 and was assigned to the 10th Army Air & Missile Defense Command in Germany. The incident is under investigation. The casualties bring the total number of American troops killed in the war with Iran to 18, with over 400 wounded since the campaign began on Feb. 28.
