Since the start of the attacks on Iran on Saturday, the United States and Israel have hit Iranian military capabilities hard. However, those attacks have also come at a steep cost for the United States as Iran retaliates against the joint strikes.
U.S. Central Command published a heartbreaking update to the number of U.S. service members killed since the war began.
‘Major combat operations continue.’
On Monday afternoon, CENTCOM wrote: “As of 4 pm ET, March 2, six U.S. service members have been killed in action. U.S. forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran’s initial attacks in the region.”
“Major combat operations continue. The identities of the fallen are being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification,” the post added.

CBS News reported that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed that an incoming munition hit a tactical operations center in Kuwait, resulting in U.S. fatalities.
CENTCOM reported on Sunday that three service members had died. The number rose to four by Monday morning as another service member “succumbed to their injuries.”
The identities of the service members have not been made public.
