Forty days after launching military strikes in Iran, the armed conflict involving the United States, Iran and Israel persists despite reports of a ceasefire that lasted only a few hours.
In the 40 days since the start of Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. code name for its joint military operations with Israel against Iran, the conflict has left thousands of people dead across the Middle East, as well as 13 U.S. service members killed and 381 others wounded, according to data from U.S. Central Command.
