The number of American servicemen injured during the military operation against Iran has increased from 427 to 447 people, according to the Pentagon’s reporting data.
⠀
According to the Pentagon’s materials, of the 447 wounded American soldiers, the ground forces suffered the greatest losses — 306 people. There were 68 casualties in the Navy, 54 in the Air Force, and 19 in the Marine Corps.
⠀
At the same time, the death toll of the US military has officially remained unchanged since the beginning of July — 14 people, although only in recent days has the Pentagon recognized the death of several soldiers as a result of Iran’s retaliatory strikes on US bases in the Middle East amid the escalation of the conflict.
⠀
On the night of June 18, Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum that provides for the end of the conflict that began on February 28. However, the US military has carried out several series of attacks on Iran since July 8. The Central Command of the US Armed Forces claimed that this was allegedly done in response to Iran’s actions against commercial vessels that crossed the Strait of Hormuz.
⠀
The Iranian military retaliated by attacking US bases in several Middle Eastern countries. Tehran also accused Washington of violating the memorandum on cessation of hostilities. The US president said that the cease-fire was no longer valid.
