First Lt. Tyler James Feehan, who was 25, had been deployed to an air base in Jordan when enemy missiles and drones lit up the sky. He is among the 18 Americans who have died since the war began.
Stephen and Shari Feehan have stayed in close touch with their son’s fiancée, Claire Fletcher, whom he was supposed to marry right after returning from his deployment to Jordan.
The American military said its barrage was retaliation against recent attacks on U.S. forces and marine traffic. Iranian officials said a wedding was hit and civilians killed.
The discussions, reported by the Syrian state news agency, came days after Israel struck an air base in Syria’s northwest, the latest in a series of military interventions.
