It has now been over a week since American and Israeli joint airstrikes on Iran. The airstrikes also resulted in the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on 28 February.
Since then Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks which have targeted American assets and allies in the region including in Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and in the United Arab Emirates. The conflict has since then increased.
The Pentagon has identified several US service members who have since been killed in the conflict. The seventh American personnel killed was 26-year-old Army Sgt Benjamin N Pennington. Earlier, President Donald Trump met with the families of the six soliders who died at the transfer ritual at Dover Air Force Base.
This is the service when American service members who are killed in combat are returned home. The six fallen service members died when an ‘unmanned aircraft system’ evaded air defences and hit a command centre in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, on 1 March.
