Thus far, the US military has said that six American service members died overseas in the Iran operations. US Central Command, meanwhile, has said that at least five other troops were seriously wounded in the attacks. Here's what we know so far about those killed.
The US on Tuesday (local time) released the names of four of the six service members who have thus far died in Washington's conflict with Iran, while supporting President Donald Trump's Operation Epic Fury.
According to a statement by the Department of War (formerly, the Pentagon), four Army Reserve soldiers were killed on Sunday when a drone hit a command centre in Port Shuaiba in Kuwait.
The deadly drone attack took place a day after the US and Israel launched their military campaigns against Iran.
Which US military service members were killed?
All four Army Reserve members who were killed were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command in Des Moines, Iowa, the Pentagon said.
Those killed included Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; and Spc. Declan J.
Names of two other US service members who were killed have yet to be released.
