3 U.S. service members killed and 5 seriously wounded in Iran operation, after Trump warned of casualties

Three American service members have been killed and five others seriously wounded during the U.S. attacks on Iran, the military said Sunday, marking the first American casualties in a major offensive that has sparked retaliation from the Islamic Republic.

U.S. Central Command, which oversees the Middle East, announced the deaths in a post on X but did not say when and where they occurred. The statement said “several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions” and were going to return to duty.
