Washington, July 27 /Xinhua/ — Four American service members have been killed and another 207 wounded since U.S. forces resumed combat operations against Iran in July. This is the casualty data updated by the U.S. Department of Defense on Sunday.
According to the Pentagon’s defense loss analysis system as of July 25, 14 American military personnel were killed and 417 wounded as a result of the US military operation “Epic Fury” against Iran.
Recently, a new tracking category called “foreign operations” was added to the database, which separately lists U.S. military casualties since July 7 — four killed and 207 wounded. However, it only includes names, without specific details such as time, location, or circumstances.
Although it has been confirmed that all four deceased were victims of the new round of the American-Iranian conflict, the U.S. Department of Defense has not yet confirmed whether all the wounded are related to the American-Iranian conflict.
According to US law, the president generally cannot engage American troops in military actions for more than 60 days without Congressional approval. According to media reports, on July 10, the Donald Trump administration sent a letter to Congress stating that Iran’s attack on three commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz on July 7 violated a previous ceasefire agreement. Based on this, the White House designated July 7 as the start date of a new round of military actions against Iran. –0–
