The U.S. Central Command said Sunday that three U.S. service members were killed in action during Operation Epic Fury and another five were seriously wounded.
CENTCOM added that several other service members sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions.
“Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing,” CENTCOM said in an X post. “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.”
In the joint attacks on Iran dubbed Operation Epic Fury, Israel had targeted Iranian leaders, while the U.S. has gone after Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the conflict.
