Three American service members have been killed, and an additional five were “seriously wounded” as part of President Donald Trump’s military operation in Iran, U.S. Central Command said in a statement on Sunday.

“Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty,” the command wrote in a post on X. “Major combat operations continue and our 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.”
