The Pentagon has named First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan and Private Isabella Gonzales among US service members killed in recent Iranian attacks on American forces in Iraq, including a drone strike at Erbil Air Base. The identifications come as President Trump weighs expanding US military action against Iran, with additional aircraft reportedly being sent to the Middle East amid rising tensions.
The Pentagon says nearly 100 US service members have been injured in Iran-linked attacks since 7 July, with most sustaining minor concussions.
