President Donald Trump attended a dignified transfer ceremony on Wednesday at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to honor four U.S. Army soldiers killed in the Middle East. The service members, who returned to American soil in flag-draped caskets, were killed in Iranian attacks in Jordan and Iraq.
The deaths were linked to Iranian drones and missiles as hostilities ramped up following the collapse of a ceasefire. These events occurred during the ongoing war with Iran.
This is the third such event the president has attended since the start of the war with Iran. The ceremony comes amid growing frustration with the US-Israeli war with Iran. This ritual is one of the most somber duties of a commander-in-chief.
