More than 600 U.S. military service members have been injured since the war with Iran began in February, according to the latest official casualty figures.
The tally includes injuries sustained during Operation Fury, an earlier phase of the campaign, as well as a newly created reporting category the Pentagon has labeled 'Overseas Operations'. Officials have not broken down how many of the injuries were combat-related versus resulting from accidents or other causes during deployment.
