Pentagon Withheld Dozens of Troop Injuries in Iran Strikes on Jordan
The report says Iranian strikes injured dozens of U.S. service members and damaged several helicopters, while the Pentagon withheld casualty details.
- The New York Times reported on Monday that the Pentagon did not publicly disclose three Iranian attacks on American forces in Jordan occurring the week before last Friday's missile strike that killed two service members.
- American officials stated the military has deliberately limited public reporting on some Iranian attacks to avoid helping Iran refine its targeting against bases across the Middle East.
- The undisclosed incidents wounded dozens of American troops and damaged several military helicopters stationed at the base, though Central Command is not required to announce such injuries.
- CENTCOM reported that since the launch of Operation Iron Roar, 16 American personnel have been killed and more than 400 wounded, underscoring the intensity of ongoing regional threats.
- Following retaliatory airstrikes on Iranian targets, the broader conflict involves threats near Israel, including Iranian missile launches toward the Jordanian port city of Aqaba over the weekend.
