Additionally, one service member is currently missing in action,” U.S. Central Command wrote in a post on social media. Four other soldiers were medically evacuated for treatment in hospitals but have since been discharged. The Iranian attack is the first strike to kill American troops since the resumption of hostilities between the Islamic Republic and the U.S. last week and marks the first American military deaths in the Iran War since March 12, when a KC-135 tanker aircraft crashed while supporting U.S. operations against Iran, killing 6 soldiers.
