Thirteen US troops killed, nearly four hundred wounded in Iran war, CENTCOM says

The ongoing conflict with Iran has resulted in significant casualties for American forces, with US Central Command (CENTCOM) reporting nearly 400 wounded and 13 service members killed. While CENTCOM spokesman Tim Hawkins noted that 354 of the wounded have since returned to duty, the figures underscore the harsh reality of this engagement.

354 of those wounded have since returned to duty, with the US and Iran failing to reach a long-term agreement during recent talks in Pakistan.

Adding to the strain, diplomatic efforts have yet to achieve a breakthrough. Recent talks held in Islamabad, Pakistan, on April 11 between representatives from Washington and Tehran concluded without a long-term agreement. While another round of discussions may be scheduled, the lack of progress highlights the deep divisions that persist.

Nearly 400 US troops have been wounded in the conflict with Iran, US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported.

The conflict, which began on February 28 with a US-Israeli military operation targeting Iran, saw Tehran respond by attempting to shut the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Emergency Medical Services reported a staggering 3,375 fatalities from US-Israeli strikes over the 40 days of war. The US had previously announced a 'double-sided' two-week ceasefire on April 7, framing it as a temporary pause in hostilities.

At least 399 American service members were injured, according to CENTCOM spokesman Tim Hawkins, the Associated Press reported.
