Iran military claims US losses have sharply increased since the start of the ongoing conflict, according to a fresh statement from a military spokesperson. The claim includes hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries among American forces, along with significant losses on the Israeli side.
The spokesperson said around 800 US soldiers have been killed and nearly 5,000 injured. He also claimed that over 1,300 Israeli troops have died during the same period. These figures have not been independently verified, but they highlight the growing intensity of the situation.
Iran military claims US losses also include the destruction of 17 American military bases. The spokesperson described the reported relocation of US personnel to hotels as a sign of retreat, calling it a blow to Washington’s military image. He added that Iran would not allow US forces to leave the region until its demands are fulfilled.
In a warning to Gulf countries, the spokesperson urged them to expel US troops from their soil. He said failure to do so could lead to further attacks on military bases. According to the statement, Iranian forces are monitoring US soldiers who have taken shelter in civilian locations, which Tehran now considers occupied zones.
Iran military claims US losses further extend to advanced military assets. The spokesperson suggested that US F-35 fighter jets are no longer secure in the region. He also claimed that control over the Strait of Hormuz has shifted, signaling a major change in regional security dynamics.
The remarks reflect rising tensions and a deepening crisis, with strong rhetoric from Tehran pointing to a prolonged and uncertain phase in the conflict.
