Trump Calls Iran's Response to Latest US Ceasefire Proposal 'Totally Unacceptable'

The Pentagon has identified the seventh soldier killed in Operation Epic Fury as a member of the U.S. Army’s elite Space Brigade.

<a href="https://www.dvidshub.net/news/559702/dow-announces-death-usasmdc-soldier">Sgt. Benjamin Pennington</a>, 26, of Glendale, Kentucky, died on March 8, 2026, from injuries suffered during Iran’s retaliatory attack at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, on March 1.

Pennington was assigned to the 1st Space Battalion, 1st Space Brigade, Fort Carson, Colorado. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2017.

“Sgt. Pennington was a dedicated and experienced noncommissioned officer who led with strength, professionalism and sense of duty,” Col. Michael Dyer, 1st Space Brigade commander, said in a statement Monday. “Our deepest sympathies are with his family, friends and fellow Soldiers. We remain dedicated to providing comfort and support at this time and will forever honor his legacy and ultimate sacrifice for our nation.”

The decorated soldier has been recognized for his military service with the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Overseas Service Ribbon, Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon, Korea Defense Service Medal, and the Army Service Ribbon.

Pennington was promotable and will be posthumously promoted to staff sergeant, the Army said Monday.

"The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command is deeply saddened by the loss of Sgt. Pennington,” Lt. Gen. Sean Gainey, USASMDC commanding general, said in a statement. “He gave the ultimate sacrifice for the country he loved. That makes him nothing less than a hero, and he will always be remembered that way. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends."

Six other soldiers<a href="https://apnews.com/article/dignified-transfer-trump-iran-american-soldiers-killed-c6ca32cc5deaf90e1a5c1805dbde807b"> killed in action</a> have been identified as Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; Capt. Cody Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, California; Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45, of Indianola, Iowa; Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; and Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, lowa, who was posthumously promoted from specialist.

All six soldiers were killed by a drone strike at a command center in Kuwait the day after the United States and Israel launched the military operation against Iran.

Trump attended the dignified transfer of their remains at Dover Air Force Base on Saturday, vowing earlier in the day that he would keep American war deaths “to a minimum.”
