Three United States service members were killed in action during Operation Epic Fury against Iran on Sunday, as President Donald Trump described the ongoing conflict as 'a great deal for the world,' prompting widespread political backlash. Five other personnel were seriously wounded, and additional troops sustained minor injuries, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM).
CENTCOM confirmed the casualties in a statement, adding that the identities of the deceased would remain confidential until 24 hours after next-of-kin notification. Officials also noted that several service members with minor shrapnel injuries and concussions are being returned to duty, while major combat operations continue.
