Over 750 US servicemen have been wounded in Iran war, Pentagon numbers reveal – report
A total of 18 US soldiers have been killed and 756 wounded in the US-Iran war, a number that has risen despite recent ceasefire efforts.
The number of US servicemen wounded or killed in the conflict with Iran has risen to 774, according to a Washington Post report citing the Pentagon's casualty reporting system. This total includes 18 killed and 756 wounded. The increase occurred despite an ongoing ceasefire, potentially due to a reporting lag. The US is reportedly considering scaling back its military presence in the Middle East, which would involve defense cuts in the Persian Gulf and not rebuilding damaged bases. This report follows earlier allegations from servicemen that their injuries were more severe than officially stated, with one sergeant claiming he “absolutely believed” the Pentagon tried to downplay a strike in Kuwait.
