More than 140 US troops wounded in escalating war in Iran

Amid ongoing military operations against Iran, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine report significant progress with over 5,000 targets struck. Despite mixed messages from President Trump about the war's duration, the administration faces scrutiny over reports of a U.S. missile strike near an Iranian school, resulting in significant casualties. In response to threats from Iran to block oil exports, the U.S. has warned of severe retaliatory measures, while the Pentagon reports injuries among U.S. service members during Operation Epic Fury.
