In a written statement issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was stated: "Egypt condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attack that took place in a region on the Syrian border of Jordan, which led to the death of 3 US soldiers and the injury of a large number of US forces present in the region."

The statement emphasized that Egypt strongly condemns all forms of terrorist acts that threaten the security and stability of Jordan, and drew attention to the importance of combating terrorism and violence in all its forms to ensure stability in the region.

A statement from the Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs also included the following: "Bahrain strongly condemns the terrorist attack that occurred near the Jordan-Syria border, which resulted in the death of 3 soldiers and the injury of others among the US forces cooperating with the Jordanian Armed Forces in the fight against terrorism and in protecting borders from arms and drug smuggling."

The statement, which expressed Bahrain's solidarity with Jordan and its support for the US in its cooperation to ensure border security, conveyed condolences to the US government, its people, and the families of those who lost their lives, and wished a speedy recovery to the injured.
