| [Rudaw] More than a dozen American service members have been killed since the outbreak of the Iran war in late February, a US defense department database showed Thursday, with more than 750 others wounded. This comes as US President Donald Trump on the same day vowed to launch “the most crushing economic operation ever” against Tehran. The Department’s Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) showed that the combined death toll across its Operation Epic Fury and Overseas Operations categories reached 18, while the latest update added more than 50 newly recorded injuries, bringing the total wounded to 757 service members since the start of the conflict with Tehran. The US launched Operation Epic Fury jointly with Israel in late February, striking thousands of targets over six weeks. Tehran responded with drone and missile strikes across the Middle East, targeting alleged US assets - particularly in Gulf Arab states - while also hitting Israel. |
