The number of U.S. service members killed in action during the ongoing military operation against Iran has risen to six as of March 2, according to Pentagon disclosures.
U.S. Central Command confirmed that two additional troops, previously listed as unaccounted for, were recovered from a facility struck during Iran’s initial attacks in the region.
In a public update posted on X, U.S. Central Command stated, “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.”
The announcement brings the confirmed U.S. death toll to six since the operation began. Defense officials have not yet released the identities of the fallen service members, pending notification of next of kin.
The recovery operation followed earlier reports that multiple U.S. positions in the region were targeted during the opening phase of Iran’s retaliatory actions. Officials have not provided additional details about the location of the struck facility or the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
Military leadership has indicated that operations remain ongoing. No further casualty figures have been publicly released beyond the six confirmed fatalities.
