The Pentagon reports another member of the U.S. military has died in combat — the seventh since President Trump and Israel launched a full-scale military assault on Iran late last month. The Associated Press reports the service member was an Army soldier who died of injuries sustained during an Iranian attack on U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia on March 1. CENTCOM also reports an eighth service member has died, in Kuwait, due to what officials called a “health-related incident.” On Saturday, President Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attended a “dignified transfer” ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for six U.S. Army members killed by Iranian attacks on Kuwait.
