A database updated by the U.S. military reported that 757 American service members have been injured since the start of the Iran war in February.
Meanwhile, more than 417 U.S. military members were wounded in action during “Operation Epic Fury,” the name of the campaign that was launched on Feb. 28 against Iran. The operation was deemed finished by Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a White House briefing in early May.
In both DCAS operation sections, the data did not break down when, how, or where the American soldiers were wounded.
The Pentagon said that 587 Army soldiers, 86 Navy sailors, 64 Air Force airmen, and 19 Marines were wounded in both combined operations, according to the update. Overall, 18 U.S. service members were listed as killed.
According to an Epoch Times review, 60 injured soldiers were added to the Overseas Operations section since Aug. 11.
The new data posted to the DCAS comes as U.S. President Donald Trump warned on social media that his administration would launch an economic-related operation against Iran in a bid to isolate the regime in Tehran.
“Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies—It all needs to stop Now,” Trump said on Truth Social.
“You know who you are. This will be an Economic D-Day, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat.”
“If you insist on doing business with them … then the U.S. Treasury and the U.S. government will put its full might and force against you,” Bessent told the outlet. “It’s time for our allies and the rest of the world to make a decision.”
The administration is trying to force Iran’s leadership to cave to demands to end its nuclear program and fully reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz to oil and natural gas tankers.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has rejected the economic threats made against his country, writing on X Thursday that new sanctions or other measures will trigger hostility from Iranians. On Friday, he suggested in a post on X that Iran has faced major U.S. sanctions that ultimately did not take down the regime.
