President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the dignified transfer of four U.S. service members at Dover Air Force Base on Wednesday at 11 a.m. local time, after the ceremony was postponed from Tuesday. Two soldiers were killed during Iranian missile and drone attacks in Jordan, a third was missing after those attacks and is believed dead, and a fourth died in Iraq during the detonation of a downed Iranian drone. The transfer will return the troops' remains to their families as the U.S. campaign against Iran continues.
