Tehran, IRNA – The Pentagon has confirmed a rise of 415 in the number of US forces wounded during the aggressive war waged against the Islamic Republic.
According to USA Today, while it had previously been announced that the number of wounded was 399, the Pentagon’s update on Monday shows that the number of wounded has reached 415.
Accordingly, 271 members of the US Army, 63 members of the Navy, 62 members of the Air Force, and 19 Marines have been wounded.
The previous reports showed that 13 American soldiers have also been killed.
The US and the Israeli regime imposed a large-scale unprovoked military aggression against Iran following the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces carried out retaliatory operations with waves of missiles and drones, targeting American military bases in the region and Israeli positions in the occupied territories, forcing the aggressors to request for a ceasefire.
