U.S. reports 365 troops wounded in Iran conflict as casualty figures mount
Washington — The United States has recorded 365 service members wounded in action in the ongoing conflict with Iran, according to Pentagon data released on Friday, highlighting the growing human cost of the campaign.
The figures, published by the Pentagon, show that 247 of the injured are from the U.S. Army, 63 from the Navy, 19 from the Marine Corps and 36 from the Air Force.
The data also indicates that 200 of those wounded are mid- to senior-level enlisted personnel, while 85 are officers and 80 are junior enlisted troops.
It remains unclear whether the figures include personnel involved in two combat aircraft incidents reported on Friday, including the downing of a U.S. fighter jet during operations over Iran.The overall death toll stands at 13 U.S. service members, the military said.
Of these, six died when a refueling aircraft crashed over Iraq, while seven were killed in combat operations linked to the conflict.
Separately, 12 U.S. troops were wounded, including two seriously, in an Iranian strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, according to earlier reports.
The casualty figures come as U.S. forces continue sustained operations against Iran, with the scale and intensity of the conflict raising concerns over its broader regional and strategic implications.
