At least 624 US military service members have been injured since President Donald Trump ordered strikes against Iran in February, according to the Pentagon’s latest update released on 25 July. The figure points to a significant number of wounded personnel months after the military action began.
The Pentagon update says 417 of those injuries are connected to Operation Epic Fury. Based on the figures provided, that operation accounts for a large share of the total number of wounded service members reported so far.
The new tally adds to scrutiny over the cost of the US campaign against Iran and the way the conflict has developed since February. Even without further details in the excerpt, the numbers alone show that the impact on US forces has been substantial.
With the Pentagon continuing to publish updated totals, the injury count is likely to remain a key measure of how the conflict is affecting American troops. The 25 July figures provide the clearest snapshot yet of the scale of injuries sustained since the strikes were ordered.
