In the five weeks of the U.S. war against Iran, 13 American service members have been killed and another 365 wounded. The updated figures were released by the U.S. Department of Defense, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
According to the Pentagon report, among the 365 wounded during Operation “Epic Fury” are 247 Army soldiers, 63 Navy personnel, 19 Marines, and 36 Air Force personnel. Most of the wounded have already returned to duty, the U.S. Central Command stated.
The death toll, according to military officials, has remained unchanged since the first weeks of the war and still stands at 13. Six of them were killed in an Iranian strike on Kuwait in early March, and another person died from injuries sustained in Saudi Arabia. The remaining six were killed in the crash of a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft on March 13 and are classified as casualties not related to hostile actions.
The U.S. and Israel’s War Against Iran
Since February 28, the United States and Israel have been carrying out airstrikes against Iran, resulting in the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a number of high-ranking officials and security personnel.
In response, Iran is attacking Israel and Gulf countries with missiles and drones. According to statements by the Islamic Republic, the attacks on Arab countries are aimed at U.S. military bases in the region. Iran is also striking oil storage facilities in several Gulf countries and oil tankers. Additionally, Azerbaijan and Cyprus, a member of the European Union, have been targeted by Iran since the start of the war.
