Another US military service member has died from wounds sustained during Iran's initial counter-attack a week ago, bringing the number of US troops killed in action so far in the war with Iran to seven, the US military said.
"Last night, a US service member passed away from injuries received during the Iranian regime’s initial attacks across the Middle East," US Central Command said in a statement.
"The service member was seriously wounded at the scene of an attack on US troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on March 1."
It said the service member's identity will be withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification.
