US Central Command (CENTCOM) has rejected reports by Iranian-affiliated media outlets claiming American soldiers were killed in Iraq, according to a regional news channel. The denial follows a series of CENTCOM rebuttals of false Iranian casualty claims across the Middle East in recent days.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) has denied Iranian-affiliated media reports claiming American soldiers were killed in Iraq, according to a regional the source covering military statements. The denial adds to a pattern of CENTCOM rebuttals of false Iranian casualty claims — including reports of US soldiers killed in Iran earlier today, which CENTCOM also denied, and in Kuwait, which the US Army denied.
No independent confirmation of the latest denial was immediately available, and CENTCOM has not yet published an official statement on its own channels. The claims appear to be part of an ongoing Iranian propaganda effort to allege American casualties amid heightened tensions in the region.
