At least four United States soldiers have lost their lives in retaliatory strikes by Iran.

The US Central Command, CENTCOM, disclosed this in a statement posted on its X account on Monday.

The US military emphasized that the identities of the deceased will remain undisclosed until their families have been notified.

CENTCOM stated that four US service members were earlier confirmed killed in action, adding that the fourth individual, who sustained serious injuries from Iran’s initial attacks, ultimately succumbed to the wounds.

“Major combat operations are ongoing, and we will withhold names for 24 hours post notification of families,” it added.
