Nearly 100 U.S. service members injured in Iranian strikes this month
Washington — Nearly 100 American service members have been injured in multiple Iranian airstrikes on bases in the Middle East region this month, U.S. officials told CBS News. Most have returned to duty, two of the officials said.
Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the numbers in a statement to CBS News, saying almost 100 people “were deemed to have some degree of injury since July 7, 2026,” 96% of whom have returned.
“They are determined to get back in the fight. The vast majority of injuries experienced were minor concussions,” Parnell said.
This is a breaking story; it will be updated.
