US Central Command denies Iranian reports of three US soldier deaths in Kuwait

BAGHDAD, Iraq — US Central Command (CENTCOM) has denied Iranian media reports that three US soldiers were killed in Iranian airstrikes in Kuwait, calling the claims Iranian propaganda that does not reflect reality. In a statement, the command said there were no reports of casualties or injuries among US forces in the region and that all personnel were accounted for and in good condition. The denial followed earlier Iranian media reports alleging that Iranian missile strikes had targeted a US Army missile unit base in Kuwait and killed three American service members. CENTCOM issued its formal rebuttal in response to those claims. Officials did not provide additional information regarding the security of US forces in the area. No further details were immediately available.
