As of Monday, 13 US service members have been killed, with fatalities occurring in Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia due to a plane crash and Iranian drone attacks. Over 1,300 Iranians have been killed, along with hundreds of civilians in Lebanon and 15 people in Israel. The conflict has prompted contradictory statements from Donald Trump regarding US involvement and the protection of the Strait of Hormuz.
