After Iran claimed to have killed three U.S. personnel in Kuwait over the weekend, the Pentagon’s official toll of injuries and deaths in the war quietly climbed on Monday.
The increase followed the collapse last week of the ceasefire with Iran amid tit-for-tat attacks between the countries.
As hostilities escalated, Iran called for revenge on the U.S. for killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the outset of the war in February.
The numbers for both wounded and dead U.S. service members in the war increased on Monday, according to the Defense Department.
