Nearly 100 American service members have been injured in Iranian attacks on U.S. bases across the Middle East since July 7, the Pentagon confirmed to CBS News, as renewed fighting between Washington and Tehran enters its second week.

Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said 96% of those injured had returned to duty and that most suffered minor concussions. The Pentagon has not released a complete breakdown of the attacks, injuries or damage to U.S. facilities.
