U.S. troops in the Middle East sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions from Iranian retaliation strikes, with affected personnel being returned to duty. The military withheld identities of casualties pending next-of-kin notification. These strikes followed the collapse of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva and Israeli strikes that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran responded with missiles and drones targeting U.S. allies including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Over 200 deaths were reported in Iran from U.S. and Israeli strikes. President Trump indicated military operations would continue throughout the week as necessary.
