(US Army/AFP/Getty Images; US Army Space and Missile Defense Command) Nearly 100 US service members have suffered injuries since July 7 amid ongoing hostilities with Iran, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said on Monday. Nearly 100 U.S. service members have suffered injuries since July 7 amid ongoing hostilities with Iran, the Pentagon said on Monday, providing a new estimate of American military casualties. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a post on X that nearly 100 U.S. personnel had sustained “some degree of injury” since July 7. The statement did not specify the nature or severity of the injuries, nor did it provide a breakdown of casualties by incident or location. The Pentagon also identified two service members who were killed in an attack on Friday evening, according to the information provided. The Trump administration had previously declined to release detailed figures on U.S. military personnel injured in recent attacks. Figures attributed to the U.S. Department of Defense indicate that 18 U.S. service members have been killed and 447 injured since the conflict began on February 28. The latest disclosure comes as hostilities between the United States and Iran continue, with U.S. military facilities in the region facing attacks and Washington carrying out military operations against Iranian targets. The Pentagon has not provided further details on the circumstances surrounding the reported injuries or the extent of damage caused by recent attacks. Iranian authorities had not publicly responded to the Pentagon’s latest casualty figures at the time of publication. The United States and Iran have remained in direct military confrontation amid a wider escalation in the region. The Strait of Hormuz and U.S. military facilities across the Middle East have emerged as key flashpoints, raising concerns over further attacks, regional instability and the potential impact on global energy and shipping markets.
