'Inflammatory’: Death of US troops in Jordan 'an expansion of war'

Sky News US Analyst Michael Ware says the death of US servicemen in Jordan is “an expansion of the war” and potentially makes it “much more inflammatory” in America. Mr Ware’s comments come after three US servicemen had been killed and at least 34 others injured in a drone attack on an army base near the Jordan-Syria border. The attack is believed to have happened at an army outpost called Tower 22 in northeast Jordan, with the US claiming Iranian-backed radical militants are responsible. “If this was in Jordan, that opens up yet another front in this proxy war,” Mr Ware told Sky News Australia. “I’m already counting eight or nine fronts in this war. “This is an expansion of the war and potentially makes it much more inflammatory in America.”
