Three US troops killed in military action against Iran

The U.S. military confirmed that three American service members were killed and five were seriously wounded during a military operation in Iran. This marks the first publicly acknowledged U.S. combat fatalities in the conflict.

In a separate interview, President Donald Trump claimed U.S. forces had sunk nine Iranian warships and that 48 Iranian leaders had been killed in strikes. The U.S. military has not commented on these specific claims.
