| Another U.S. Soldier Is Dead as Iran War Casualties Rise The U.S. toll of the Iran war continues to climb as the military stumbles toward a breakdown and the Trump administration struggles to find an exit ramp. Another U.S. soldier died this month, according to newly released Pentagon statistics that classify the death as 'non-hostile.' A female soldier was on a military flight headed to Saudi Arabia when she suffered an undisclosed 'medical incident,' a defense official told The Intercept. Another 66 U.S. personnel have also been wounded in action just this month, according to that official. This has pushed the official count of war casualties above 850. Almost half the total -- 419 wounded or dead -- have occurred since Iran stepped up attacks in early July. |
