Iranian media have reported that the number of United States troops killed since the start of the war involving Israel and Iran has risen to 13. According to reports published on Saturday by Iranian outlets, around 200 U.S. service members have also been wounded, with the condition of 10 reported to be critical. These claims come as the U.S. military confirmed on Friday that all six crew members aboard a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker that crashed in western Iraq had died. Reuters, citing the United States Central Command, reported that the aircraft did not crash due to enemy fire, and that the incident remains under investigation. The reports come as fighting between Israel, the United States, and Iran continues to intensify, with each side accusing the other of inflicting heavy casualties and damage.
