More than 140 US troops have been wounded in the Iran war, the Pentagon has confirmed.
‘The vast majority of these injuries have been minor, and 108 service members have already returned to duty,’ spokesman Sean Parnell said Tuesday.
Parnell said that eight of the injuries were considered severe. US Central Command defines ‘seriously wounded’ as troops facing imminent death or who may die from their injuries.
