Three American service members were killed and five more were seriously injured in the first casualties of the ongoing American operations against Iran, according to a report from the U.S. military.
The announcement of the casualties came on the second day of U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran, which have sparked a fresh, unpredictable conflict in the Middle East and already resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to a statement sent by the U.S. military’s Central Command on Sunday, American soldiers also sustained other, less significant injuries in the ongoing Iran conflict.
