Here is a list of the confirmed deaths of U.S. military service members killed in the Iran war.
The following is a list of the confirmed deaths of U.S. military service members who have died in Operation Epic Fury and subsequent Overseas Operations, as designated in the Defense Casualty Analysis System. The deaths are numbered according to the date of death and displayed newest to oldest. Deaths that take place on the same day are alphabetized according to the first letter of the service member’s last name. Chronological numbers next to the service members’ names have changed since the department added more “non-hostile” deaths to the reporting database retroactively. Because of the timing of a service member’s promotion or the age of the official photo released by the military, the ranks given in the service members’ listings don’t always match the ranks in their uniform pictures. Ranks may reflect a posthumous promotion. Circumstances are according to the Pentagon. The Pentagon listed 23 total deaths but had identified only 21 of the individuals as of Nov. 11, 2026.
