About 140 US service members have been wounded in the first 10 days of the war with Iran, the Pentagon said on March 10, after sustained retaliatory attacks by Tehran on US bases in the region following the start of the conflict on February 28.

Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 140 U.S. service members have been wounded over 10 days of sustained attacks, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said.

He added that the vast majority of these injuries have been minor. He said that 108 troops had already returned to duty and eight seriously wounded service members were receiving the highest level of medical care.

Earlier, citing two people familiar with the matter, Reutersreportedthat as many as 150 US troops had been wounded in the conflict so far.

The American military had previously said that seven US service membershad been killedin action since the outbreak of hostilities.
