US troop deaths in Iran war reach 17 after service member killed in northern Iraq drone blast
A US service member was killed on July 19 during the controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone in northern Iraq, US Central Command said, with a second service member wounded and receiving treatment for a minor injury. The death came a day after the Pentagon announced two service members killed and a third listed as missing in action following an Iranian strike on a base in Jordan. The losses bring the American military death toll in the nearly five-month war with Iran to 17, in a conflict fought largely through air and missile strikes rather than ground combat.
