Title: 140 US troops wounded in Iran conflict, Pentagon confirms Date Published: 11 March 2026 Description: About 140 American service members have been wounded during the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States Department of Defense confirmed on Tuesday.Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the casualties occurred during 10 days of sustained attacks linked to the military campaign known as Operation Epic Fury.According to him, eight of the injured troops sustained life-threatening wounds and are currently receiving intensive medical treatment, while the majority of the others suffered minor injuries.Parnell added that 108 of the wounded personnel have already returned to duty.The latest figures provide the clearest account so far of casualties among U.S. forces since the start of the operation, which had already claimed the lives of seven American troops as of Monday.The conflict, now in its second week, has involved large-scale air strikes by the United States and Israel targeting Iranian leadership, nuclear facilities and missile installations.Donald Trump has said the attacks will continue until Tehran agrees to what he described as an “unconditional surrender”, although U.S. officials have offered differing views on what would constitute victory in the conflict.Iran’s leadership, however, has maintained a defiant stance and has given no indication that it is prepared to accept the demand.
