Eight US Marines Injured in Recent, Undisclosed Iranian Attack on Ship in Hormuz
- On September 14, eight Marines were injured when an Iranian anti-ship cruise missile struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, NBC News reported, citing three US sources.
- The Defense Department did not disclose the September 14 attack or resulting injuries, yet all eight service members returned to duty soon after the strike occurred.
- While the Marines sustained smoke inhalation and concussions including headaches, the Army spokesperson told CBS that designations like "not seriously injured" have specific definitions that have been misconstrued.
- A Washington Post report emerging on Friday said at least four service members killed in the Middle East were not represented in official casualty counts, prompting scrutiny of the Pentagon's account.
- Separately, the USS George Washington enforces a US naval blockade against Iran in the Arabian Sea, while wounded soldiers have accused the Defense Department of downplaying injuries, including one describing severe shrapnel wounds.
