140 U.S. troops wounded in Iran war, Pentagon confirms | 10 March 2026 | More than 140 U.S. troops have been wounded in the Iran war, the Pentagon has confirmed. “The vast majority of these injuries have been minor, and 108 service members have already returned to duty,” spokesman Sean Parnell said Tuesday. Parnell said that eight of the injuries were considered severe. U.S. Central Command defines “seriously wounded” as troops facing imminent death or who may die from their injuries. Seven U.S. service members have been killed after Donald Trump launched strikes against Iran on February 28. The human toll comes amid mounting concerns over the financial cost, the Pentagon having burned through $5.6 billion worth of munitions in the first two days of the war.
