WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - As many ​as 150 U.S. troops have ‌been wounded in the 10-day-old war with Iran, two people familiar with the ​matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

The ​casualty figure has not been previously ⁠reported. Prior to Reuters' publication of ​the figure, the Pentagon had only disclosed ​eight U.S. personnel seriously injured.

In a statement after Reuters published its report, the Pentagon estimated ​the figure to be approximately 140 ​wounded and said the vast majority of them ‌were ⁠minor.

"Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 140 U.S. service members have been wounded over 10 ​days of ​sustained attacks," ⁠said chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell.
