The Pentagon announced that nearly 140 members of the US military have been wounded in the armed conflict waged against Iran since Saturday, February 28.

The fact that President Donald Trump has The order to bomb several points in the Islamic Republic of the Persian Gulf, but above all the execution of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, produced an unexpected response that harmed countries such as Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. Instead of attempting to launch an offensive against the US Navy deployed in international waters, Iran organized missile and drone attacks against its military bases located in the aforementioned countries, as well as against targets linked to Washington. As a result of this operation, seven Americans lost their lives, six in Kuwait and one in Saudi Arabia; while dozens more were wounded.

However, this information was kept secret for several days until pressure from some news outlets forced the government to reveal concrete data through a statement issued by Sean Parnell, Pentagon spokesman.

“Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 140 U.S. service members have been wounded during 10 days of sustained attacks.

The vast majority of these injuries have been minor, and 108 service members have already returned to duty.

Eight service members remain critically wounded and are receiving the highest level of medical care,” he stated.

For her part, Karoline Leavitt, White House spokeswoman, noted in a press conference that the U.S. military operation is progressing better than expected.

“The initial timeframe of the president and the U.S. military was between four and six weeks to achieve all the objectives of Operation Epic Fury.

President Trump will determine when Iran is in a position of unconditional surrender,when it no longer poses a credible and direct threat to the United States and our allies,” he emphasized.

One fact to highlight is that the first two days of the war with Iran cost the United States $5 billion in munitions alone, a figure to consider for a nation whose economy had not performed according to the campaign promises made by Donald Trump.
