On March 1, 2026, Iran confirmed that six American soldiers were killed following a strike by Iran on a US military facility in Kuwait. This was reported by "BBC News" here.
Initially, US Central Command stated that three soldiers were killed in the incident, but officials confirmed on Monday, March 2, that the number of casualties had doubled after one person died from injuries and two more bodies were found under the rubble.
The country's Defense Minister, "Pit Xegset," confirmed that the strike on the US bunker in Kuwait was carried out after a missile that had evaded air defenses during Iran's initial retaliatory attack was launched.
For reference, the deaths of these six individuals are the only confirmed fatalities by US military forces since they began a new war against Israel and Iran.
