The US military has suffered losses in its fight with Iran. 3 American service members have been killed.

"Three American service members have been killed and five seriously wounded as part of combat operations against Iran, the US military said on Sunday. It is the military's first acknowledgement of any US losses since American forces began striking Iran alongside Israel on Saturday."

"The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war. But we're doing this - not for now - we're doing this for the future, and it is a noble mission."
