Over 750 members of the US military have been injured since the Iran war began, according to data published on the Department of Defence’s website.
More than 50 soldiers were added to the Pentagon’s casualty database on Wednesday, bringing the total figures to 757 injured and 18 killed.
Iran has dismissed President Donald Trump’s declarations of an “Economic D-Day”, threatening sanctions on any nation offering a lifeline to the Middle Eastern country.
Foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said that it would only bring “further defeat” to the US and said the leader was using it as a “diversion from America’s own crisis: unprecedented debt and surging interest costs.”
Trump had warned in a Truth Social post on Wednesday: “ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences.”
“This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat.”
