CENTCOM: 200 US Troops Wounded Since Iran War Started

The “vast majority” of these injuries have been “minor” and over 180 troops have returned to duty, US Central Command (CENTCOM) spokesperson, US Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, told The Hill in a statement. 

Last Tuesday, the Pentagon said that around 140 US service members had been injured since the conflict broke out and that 108 had returned to duty. Pentagon top Spokesperson Sean Parnell said at the time that eight service members were severely injured. 

Six US service members died in a recent crash of a KC-135 refueling aircraft over Western Iraq, raising the death toll to 13.
