Pentagon: 150 US Service Members Wounded in 10-Day Conflict with Iran
Reuters reports that up to 150 US service members have been wounded during the first ten days of the conflict with Iran. This figure had not been previously disclosed, far exceeding the eight serious injuries the Pentagon initially acknowledged. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell later estimated about 140 troops suffered mostly minor wounds. He confirmed 108 have already returned to duty, while eight serious cases are receiving the highest level of medical care. Details on the exact nature of the injuries remain unclear, and Reuters could not confirm whether any include traumatic brain injuries common after blast exposures. Since Feb. 28, Iran has launched strikes on US military bases, diplomatic missions in the Gulf, as well as hotels, airports, and oil infrastructure in retaliation for earlier actions.
