Iran war toll: Update on the US dead and wounded
Story by Cybele Mayes-Osterman, USA TODAY • 6h
The number of American troops injured in the Iran war has climbed to 200, 60 more than the total the Pentagon last announced six days ago, according to Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command.
Ten service members are currently seriously wounded, Hawkins said. The vast majority suffered minor injuries, and more than 180 of them have returned to duty, he said.

Family members of the soldiers killed in the KC-135 crash criticized the Iran war in interviews over the weekend. "This could have been prevented,” Stephan Douglas, a cousin of Simmons, the 28-year-old tech sergeant killed, told WCMH, an NBC affiliate in Columbus, Ohio. “We didn’t need to be in this war. This is uncalled for, and this is what we get.”
As the war continues into its third week, approximately 2,000 people have been killed across the Middle East, including at least 1,330 Iranians, according to the country's ambassador to the United Nations. Israel has intensified its attacks on Lebanon, killing at least 800 people. Nine Israelis were killed in an Iranian missile strike, and two of the country's soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon, according to Reuters.
