I'm Jonathan Lemire.

Thanks for starting your day and week with us. And we've got a lot to get

to. We'll begin this morning with the developing news out of the Middle East and the deaths of

three U.S. service members in Northeast Jordan. It happened yesterday at a logistics support base

for the U.S. military near Jordan's border with Syria.

A drone packed with explosives struck near a shelter where American troops were sleeping,

killing three and injuring more than 30 others.

President Biden released a statement shortly after, reading in part this way.

While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups

operating in Syria and Iraq. We will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a

manner of our choosing.

Joining us now to talk about it is a former spokesperson for the U.S. mission to the United

Nations, Hagar Shemali.
