TAMPA, FLORIDA – U.S. Central Command has reported this morning that three American soldiers have died, and others hurt, in retaliation strikes from Iran after yesterday’s devastating onslaught from U.S. and Israeli forces.
As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.
Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and the response effort is ongoing.
“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,” according to U.S. Central Command.
