Three US service members have been killed in action in Iran as part of President Donald Trump’s war against Iran.
US Central Command announced the deaths on Sunday morning, just one day after Trump ordered a series of deadly strikes targeting Iranian leadership.
‘Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty,’ US Central Command wrote on X. ‘Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.’
‘The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.’
Following the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Tehran has responded by launching a barrage of attacks against US military bases across the Middle East.
This morning Iran raised its so-called ‘Red Flag of Revenge’ and vowed to hit the US and Israel with a ‘force never experienced before’.
Trump addressed the American people on camera from his Mar-a-Lago estate shortly after the military strikes began on Saturday morning.
The president warned that US troops could lose their lives in the operation, adding that ‘we may have casualties.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.

Trump’s previous military strikes against Iran have been brief operations designed to not entangle the US in a prolonged regime change war with Tehran.
However, Saturday’s attack marks the first time Trump has unleashed America’s firepower in the Middle East with the goal of ending a country’s government.
