The strike wounded 12 U.S. troops — 2 of them seriously. The attack marked yet another blow to American forces stationed in the region, as the Iran conflict grows deadlier by the day.

The war against Iran began on February 28 — and since then, more than 300 U.S. military service members have been wounded in the escalating and brutal conflict across the region.

Earlier on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed 273 wounded troops had already returned to duty — showing rapid recovery, but also exposing how relentless Iran’s strikes on American forces have truly become.

So far, 13 U.S. troops have been killed in the conflict with Iran — a grim and growing reminder of the devastating human cost this war is inflicting on American military families.
