WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) - Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

The casualties were announced on the second day of strikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, which have plunged the Middle East into a new, unpredictable conflict that has already led to the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The U.S. military's Central Command said in a statement on Sunday that U.S. troops suffered additional, less serious injuries as well.

"Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions - and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing," Central Command said in a statement on X.
