More than 300 U.S. troops wounded in Iran war as grim battlefield reality emerges amid ground invasion fears | 27 March 2026 | More than 300 American service members have been injured during President Donald Trump’s war in Iran. Central Command Spokesman, U.S. Navy Captain Tim Hawkins, told the Daily Mail that 303 service members have been wounded during Operation Epic Fury, which will stretch to a month-long conflict tomorrow. Of those, 273 are back on duty, with 10 still seriously wounded. That’s more than double the 140 wounded service members the Pentagon reported on March 10. It comes as some Republicans fear that Trump could launch a massive ground invasion that could result in droves of U.S. casualties. Thirteen American service members have died since Trump first ordered strikes on Iran, on February 28.
