killed in Jordan yesterday as “partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks"

Jordan is not attacking Iran, Jordan is the defender between those two nations. Furthermore, even an aggressor can defend against enemy attacks. That is simple English. Very odd you find it 'disgusting' to accurately describe defenders as defenders.

Iran is defending the Jordanien people from Israel, to which the army is capitulating, unlike Hisbollah. Very disingenuous Zionist framing, there.
