Three US fighter jets have been downed over Kuwait in "an apparent friendly fire incident" while flying in support of the US-Israeli hostilities with Iran, US Central Command (Centcom) says.
The F-15 jets were were "mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defences", officials announced on Monday. All six crew ejected safely and have been recovered, they added. The cause of the incident is under investigation.
There have been fresh attacks by both sides of the conflict on Monday, and Iran has denied Trump's suggestion that it is ready for fresh negotiations with the US.
The death of a fourth US service member was also announced by Centcom on Monday.
That person was wounded during Iran's initial attacks, and "eventually succumbed to their injuries", the officials said.
