US military death toll in Iran war rises to 14; over 400 troops injured

The US military's official tally of deaths in the Iran war has risen to 14 service members, with the death of a Navy pilot in a helicopter crash in early July in the Arabian Sea. The number of wounded troops from the conflict also has grown to more than 400 as of Monday. Capt. Tim Hawkins, spokesman for US Central Command, said the majority of them suffered traumatic brain injuries. The Navy initially described the July 1 crash as an emergency landing and said there was "no indication the emergency was caused by hostile action". The remaining three sailors aboard the helicopter were rescued shortly after the mishap. The Pentagon's war casualty count added one non-hostile death in July. It is the first death recorded since 13 service members were killed in separate incidents in March at the beginning of the war. The first was an Iranian drone strike on a command centre in Kuwait that killed six soldiers. Then one soldier died more than a week after initially being wounded in an atta
