The Pentagon has said 861 US military personnel have been wounded since the start of the conflict with Iran, according to TASS. The figure marks an increase from the 687 wounded reported in early August.
The report does not specify the exact timeframe covered by the new figure beyond noting the increase from the August count, nor does it detail the nature of the injuries, the branches of service affected, or the locations where the casualties occurred.
The rising toll reflects the continuation of hostilities between the United States and Iran, which have included exchanges described in other reports as involving missile and drone attacks across the Gulf region. The Pentagon has periodically updated casualty figures as the conflict has continued.
No additional comment from Pentagon officials beyond the reported figures was included in the available source material. Iran has not been reported as commenting specifically on the US casualty count.
The figures come as diplomatic efforts, including a reported Iranian proposal for a temporary ceasefire, continue alongside the ongoing military confrontation.
