One little problem here is that Jordan states that the base is not in Jordan but in Syria where US is currently occupying a larger percentage of territory than Russia is in Ukraine

Jordanian Minister of Government Communications Muhannad Mubaidin said Sunday that the attack targeting U.S. forces near the Syrian border did not occur inside Jordan.

Mubaidin told the state-run Al Mamlaka TV that the attack targeted the al-Tanf base in southeastern Syria.

These are two different bases. It is a contradiction in terms to say near the syrian border and in syria at the same time.

Tower 22 which got attacked is in Jordan and potentially a supply post for the al-Tanf base in southeastern Syria.

Again, Jordan is denying there were any attacks on its territory.

Dude, what is your point?

It's pretty obvious that my point is that either US or Jordan is lying here, and given that US occupation of Syria is illegal under international law, it's likely that US is lying about where their troops died. Hope that clears things up for you dude.
