PNN – CNN reported that the number of American soldiers killed in the war with Iran has increased to 11.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network from CNN, the network’s report on Friday stated: The death of four soldiers in the crash of a refueling plane in western Iraq increases the number of US military casualties in the war with Iran by 11.
The network added in its report: Six American troops were killed in an attack on the port of Shuaiba, Kuwait, on March 1. Another American soldier died on Saturday after being wounded in an attack in Saudi Arabia earlier this month.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that four of the six crew members on board a US military refueling plane that crashed in the west of the country have been killed.
CENTCOM said in a statement on Friday: Rescue operations are continuing to find the two remaining crew members of the plane.
The command headquarters claimed: The crash of this plane was not due to an enemy attack or a domestic attack.
However, the Iraqi Islamic Resistance announced in an official statement hours ago that its fighters had succeeded in intercepting a KC-135 strategic aircraft belonging to American forces in the skies over western Iraq.
Despite Iran’s heavy attacks on American bases in the region and the targeting of its terrorist forces, the US Department of War has pursued a policy of gradually announcing casualties and concealing the real statistics in this regard.
The joint military aggression by the United States and the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which resulted in the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, began in the early hours of February 28, 2026; this action took place while indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States were underway with the mediation of some regional countries.
Following the start of the joint military aggression by the United States and the Zionist regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran provided a decisive, targeted, and proportionate response to this action.
Within the framework of this legitimate response, the Israeli regime’s military and security positions in various cities in occupied Palestine, as well as bases and centers where American forces are deployed in the region, were targeted with precise missile, drone, and air strikes. Officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran have emphasized that these operations were carried out within the framework of the inherent right of self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and with the aim of deterrence, preventing the continuation of aggression and imposing costs on the aggressors. The Islamic Republic of Iran has warned that any continuation or expansion of aggression will be met with a more severe and extensive response.
