The United States has confirmed the deaths of three American service members and injuries to several others following Iranian attacks, as fighting between the two sides intensifies in the region.

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said the casualties occurred during ongoing military operations against Iran under Operation Epic Fury.

Five American troops sustained serious injuries, while several others were treated and returned to duty after receiving medical care.

CENTCOM reaffirmed that military operations against Iran would continue despite the losses.

In a separate development, the command announced that US naval forces sank an Iranian Jamaran-class corvette at a pier in Chabahar, located along the Gulf of Oman.

In a post on X, CENTCOM reiterated remarks attributed to US President Donald Trump, calling on members of Iran’s armed forces, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and police units to lay down their weapons and abandon resistance.
