Pentagon reports 365 US service members injured in ongoing operations against Iran.
Majority of injuries are brain trauma caused by Iranian drone attacks; 13 fatalities confirmed.

The Pentagon confirmed that 365 American service members have been wounded since the launch of Operation "Epic Fury" nearly five weeks ago, while the death toll remains at 13.

Injury Breakdown

Data show that the majority of those injured are from the Army, with 247 soldiers affected. The Navy reported 63 injuries, the Marine Corps 19, and the Air Force 36. According to Pentagon sources cited by CNN, more than 75 percent of injuries involve traumatic brain injuries, which result from external force to the head and can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or loss of consciousness. Severity varies by impact.

Critical Cases

Pentagon officials said that service members classified as critically injured face potentially life-threatening conditions. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Keene noted that most US military injuries were caused by Iranian drone attacks.

Officials also warned that injury numbers could rise as not all service members receive immediate medical care, depending on the severity of the incident.

Ongoing Incidents

Axios reported Friday that Iran recently shot down a US warplane during ongoing operations. The aircraft carried two crew members, and search-and-rescue efforts are underway to locate one of the missing personnel.

President Donald Trump attended a ceremony at Dover Air Force Base, paying tribute as the remains of six American soldiers killed in Kuwait were transferred with full honors.

The war between US and 'Israel' forces against Iran continues to escalate, raising concerns over further casualties and regional instability.
