Trump Administration Denies Iran's Claim of Capturing US Soldiers

The Trump administration has refuted claims made by Iran's National Security Council, which stated that several US soldiers have been captured during the ongoing conflict. In a recent social media post, Ali Larijani, head of Iran's National Security Council, claimed that the US was concealing the captures. However, the US military has denied these allegations, calling them lies and deceptions. At least six US soldiers have been killed since the war began last week, with the US military campaign named 'Operation Epic Fury'. The conflict has seen significant casualties, including the deaths of 180 children in a school strike in Minab. The US military has identified the dead soldiers as Declan Cody, Jeffrey O’Brien, Cody Khork, Noah Tietjens, Nicole Amor, and Robert Marzan. President Trump has yet to rule out deploying US soldiers to Iran, while also warning that the US death toll could rise. The war continues to divide Trump's base, with some expressing frustration over his military campaign. # Limit content length
