CENTCOM Update on Recently Fallen U.S. Service Members
TAMPA, Fla. — Yesterday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the passing of two U.S. service members and the missing status of one in Jordan following an Iranian attack on July 17. After a thorough search, U.S. military personnel found unidentified remains at the location earlier today. An examination process to verify the remains is ongoing.
Separately, a U.S. service member in northern Iraq was killed in action July 18 during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone. A second service member was wounded and continues to receive medical treatment for a minor injury.
CENTCOM is withholding additional information, including the identities of the missing and fallen warriors, out of respect for the families during the notification process.

I don’t see anything wrong with the statement. It was a controlled detonation of unexploded ordinance. It was controlled by Iran, and the ordinance hadn’t exploded until Iran controlled it to explode. The drone was downed when it hit the thing Iran was trying to hit with it. Seems above board!
All ordinances are unexploded until they explode.
