The Pentagon has disclosed that approximately 140 U.S. service members have been wounded — eight severely — in the first ten days of Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran that began February 28, 2026. The casualty report arrives as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promises the "most intense day of strikes" yet, oil prices surge past $100 a barrel amid a near-total shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, and a majority of Americans already oppose the conflict.
