Pentagon says more than 750 US service members wounded in Iran war
The updated count includes 339 injuries under a new overseas operations category, while the number of service members killed remains 18, Pentagon data shows.
- On Friday, the Pentagon reported that total U.S. casualties from Operation Epic Fury and Overseas Operations reached 757 injured and 18 killed, according to the Defense Casualty Analysis System.
- The Pentagon created the 'Overseas Operations' category last month for casualties following the May 5 conclusion of Operation Epic Fury, which accounted for more than 417 of the wounded.
- Of the 757 wounded, Army soldiers comprise 587, followed by 86 Navy sailors, 64 Air Force airmen, and 19 Marines, according to the casualty database.

- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected the economic threats on Thursday, claiming new measures trigger hostility, as the administration seeks to end Iran's nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
