The Pentagon has confirmed that approximately 140 U.S. troops have been injured during the conflict in Iran. Officials stated that the "vast majority" of these injuries were minor. Out of the estimated 140 injured, 108 have since returned to active duty.
This development comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned of an intense day of strikes within Iran. Military operations are ongoing, with the Strait of Hormuz being monitored due to fluctuating oil prices. Iran's military command, through spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaqari, has issued statements regarding regional security and its impact on oil prices, addressing the United States directly.
The conflict has also seen the U.S. take action against Iranian naval assets, including dozens of ships identified as capable of laying mines. U.S. gas prices have reportedly increased since the commencement of the war, though predictions suggest a potential decrease.
