The U.S., facing unexpected resistance in the war with Iran, began to suffer military losses as well. After the names and photos of the fallen soldiers were shared, many Americans reacted to Trump's aggressive stance by commenting, "These soldiers did not die for America, they died for Israel."
A process is underway in the Middle East where diplomatic contacts have been replaced by mutual attacks. The increasing tension between Iran and the US and Israel has escalated to a new level with reciprocal military moves. Following attacks that resulted in the deaths of Iran's religious leader Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking officials, the Tehran administration announced that it had initiated retaliation. Iran stated that it had carried out missile attacks against Israel and US military positions in the Gulf.
IRAN: THE BIGGEST LOSS IN QATAR
The Iranian administration claimed that it specifically targeted the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, where more than 200 American soldiers lost their lives. It was also alleged that US military facilities in Bahrain and an American commercial complex at the Sultan Qaboos Port in Oman were targeted in the attacks. US authorities have not made a comprehensive statement regarding these claims.
LIMITED STATEMENT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
It is reported that the White House administration continues its policy of not sharing images of soldiers who lost their lives after the attacks. Following the public release of images of US soldiers' coffins during the Iraq War that began in 2003, restrictions were placed on the dissemination of such photos.
PENTAGON REVEALS IDENTITIES OF 4 SOLDIERS
