At least 624 US military service members have been wounded since President Donald Trump ordered strikes against Iran in February, according to the Pentagon's most recent update on 25 July. The four deceased soldiers' names now appear on Overseas Operations, which says it measures "casualties starting July 7th 2026". In a post on Truth Social, on 21 July, Trump wrote that the "Iran Military Conflict" had claimed 18 lives. Three US soldiers died after Iranian missile strikes on a base in Jordan on 17 July and another in Iraq during a controlled detonation of an Iranian drone. Since mid-July, the US had attacked Iranian military infrastructure, met with Iranian forces firing on American bases in neighbouring countries, for 13 consecutive nights.
