US Central Command stated that Iranian reports claiming three soldiers were killed or wounded in recent American strikes are false. The denial comes amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) tonight denied Iranian claims that three soldiers were killed or wounded in recent American strikes, calling the reports false. The denial comes hours after a day of competing narratives: At 05:27 Jerusalem Sunday, Iran's Fars News Agency reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had struck US HIMARS launchers in Kuwait, killing three American officers. Later, Kuwait's military confirmed damage to three border centers and an oil rig, with one worker wounded, but did not report any US casualties.
