Sixteen U.S. Troops Lost in Air War with Iran | Raleigh News

Sixteen American service members have now been killed in the war with Iran — a grim toll underscored by two recent deaths in Jordan during drone and missile attacks. The conflict, waged largely from the air, still carries deadly risks for troops stationed across the Middle East, with earlier losses in Kuwait, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The White House remains silent on the latest deaths, leaving U.S. Central Command to release the details. President Biden frames the war as a mission to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, while Iran reports at least 50 of its own dead and over 500 injured from U.S. strikes. Families are still being notified, and one soldier remains unaccounted for. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
