JAKARTA - The United States Department of War (Pentagon) revealed that dozens of its soldiers were killed and hundreds of others were injured in the war with Iran, when the second ceasefire between the two countries ended on Wednesday.
A total of 415 US military members have been injured since the start of Operation Epic Fury (Israel's version of Operation Roaring Lion) against Iran, according to Defense Department data on Monday, Anadolu (21/4) reported.
Meanwhile, as many as 13 members of the Uncle Sam's military have been killed during the conflict, according to the data.
The escalation broke out in the Middle East, when Israel and the US launched an attack on Tehran and a number of other cities in Iran on February 28, 2026.
Iran retaliated by carrying out attacks on Israeli territory, as well as targeting various strategic targets related to the US in neighboring countries.
The Mullah State also strictly restricts traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil and gas pass.
At least 3,377 people were killed as a result of the Israeli aggression, including the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a number of senior civil and military officials, Tasnim reported, citing Abbas Masjedi.
A fresh wind came when a two-week ceasefire with Pakistani mediation was announced on April 8. This was followed by high-level direct talks between Iran and the US in Islamabad on April 11.
Despite the meeting ending in a stalemate, the mediators are trying to continue mediation efforts and hold a second round of talks in Pakistan this week, as the two-week ceasefire ends on Wednesday.
