A total of 687 American service members have been wounded in the conflict with Iran, according to RIA Novosti, which based the figure on an analysis of Pentagon data.
Of that total, 417 troops were wounded during Operation Epic Fury, which the administration of President Donald Trump announced had ended on May 5. Another 270 service members were injured in a new series of operations against Iran that began on July 7.
Missile stockpiles depleted
It was previously reported that over five months of conflict with Iran, the United States had used up nearly all of its stockpile of long-range precision ATACMS missiles and a significant portion of its newer Precision Strike Missiles. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the US military remains the most powerful in the world and has everything it needs to carry out its missions.
