How many US troops have been injured in the Iran war? What to know

As the war enters its third week, Iran war injuries for U.S. troops have reached 200, according to U.S. Central Command.

The number of American troops injured in the Iran war has climbed to 200, 60 more than the total the Pentagon last announced six days ago, according to Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command.

Ten service members are currently seriously wounded, Hawkins said. The vast majority suffered minor injuries, and more than 180 of them have returned to duty, he said.

After the United States and Israel launched attacks Feb. 28, Iran retaliated with an ongoing barrage of drone and missile attacks at U.S. allies across the region and the American military bases they host.

The number of American troops killed in the war reached 13 after a KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in Iraq on March 12, killing its six occupants.

Three of the soldiers on board were from MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida: Maj. John A. Klinner, 33, of Auburn, Alabama; Capt. Ariana G. Savino, 31, of Covington, Washington; and Tech. Sgt. Ashley B. Pruitt, 34, of Bardstown, Kentucky. Three were from Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base in Columbus Ohio: Capt. Seth R. Koval, 38, of Mooresville, Indiana; Capt. Curtis J. Angst, 30, of Wilmington, Ohio; and Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons, 28, of Columbus, Ohio.
