Three U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iran Attack After Report of Sinking Iranian Ship

Three U.S. soldiers killed in Iran attack, U.S. military says
Three U.S. service members were killed in action and "five were seriously wounded," as part of military operations in Iran, U.S. CENTCOM announced.

CENTCOM Update

TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.

The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

We had better get used to days when we lose 3 dead being days being days of "negligible losses."

Republican regimes in recent history have known not to attack countries that shoot back (Iraq was a mistake, not an exception). If Trump thought that Iran would make an exception for him, he is sorely mistaken.
