According to official Pentagon data, 365 U.S. service members were wounded in the first five weeks of the U.S. military operation against Iran, called "Epic Anger." The number of dead remains at 13. The majority of the wounded — 247 — serve in the Army, followed by the Navy (63), the Marine Corps (19) and the Air Force (36). More than 75% of all recorded injuries, CNN reports citing the Pentagon, are traumatic brain injuries resulting from external impact.
Chair of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kin said that most of the U.S. personnel were wounded as a result of attacks by Iranian drones. The Pentagon emphasizes that the reported casualty figures are preliminary and may rise, since not all service members seek medical attention immediately after an incident. A separate category of severely wounded personnel, whose conditions are assessed as life-threatening, is also noted.
In addition to the casualty statistics, U.S. news outlet Axios reported that during recent fighting Iran managed to shoot down a U.S. military aircraft. Two people were on board. Search-and-rescue operations are ongoing to locate one of the crew members, underscoring the high intensity and danger of the conflict.
