Three U.S. troops were killed and five more “seriously wounded” as part of the joint U.S.-Israel operation targeting Iranian military sites and government officials, according to U.S. Central Command, marking the first American deaths in the conflict.
Several other troops “sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions,” the command said Sunday, without giving a location. Iranian missiles have targeted some American bases in Bahrain, Iraq and Kuwait as part of the conflict, which the Pentagon has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.
These are the first confirmed U.S. fatalities since Donald Trump announced Saturday that the U.S. had begun “major combat operations” in Iran. And they dramatically raise the stakes. The fatalities are likely to intensify pressure on the White House and the Pentagon to respond forcefully, potentially widening the conflict beyond limited strikes into a more sustained military campaign.
If there was more structured organizing, the state would have to be receptive. When the economy fully stops, they listen. A one off Saturday protest like No Kings doesn’t work because its irregular and not a financial protest. Tell your friends to stop using their credit cards, full stop. I appreciate your protest and am not saying you aren’t doing enough. But Americans as a whole can be doing a whole lot more, it’s embarrassing how many just whine about the democrats. Organize the left, the revolution is sanctions on all US companies
