BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors on Monday said two men have been charged in connection with a drone strike carried out by Iran-backed militants in Jordan near the Syrian border in January that killed three U.S. service members and injured about 40 others.

Federal prosecutors in Boston said they would hold a press conference later Monday to announce charges against an Iranian man and a dual U.S.-Iranian citizen related to export violations and providing material support to Iran in connection with the drone strike.
