Three American soldiers died in the "Epic Fury" operation, and five were seriously injured, according to the CENTCOM announcement.

The U.S. Central Command confirmed on Sunday the death of three American soldiers during operations against Iran, with five allied military personnel seriously injured. No further details about the circumstances of the deaths were provided, and the Command emphasized that information will be communicated to the victims' families before being made public. President Donald Trump anticipated loss of life, stressing that military actions are for a better future. In response, Iran launched missile attacks that caused casualties in Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait.

In the wake of these events, the airspace has been closed in several countries in the region, causing significant disruptions in air transport.
