About 140 U.S. service members have been wounded in conflict with Iran, the Pentagon reported Tuesday.

“The vast majority of these injuries have been minor, and 108 service members have already returned to duty,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement. Eight are currently “severely injured,” Parnell added.

These numbers are the first insight into the broader toll of injuries sustained by U.S. troops after a barrage of retaliatory rocket and drone strikes from Iran that also killed seven soldiers in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Seven Americans have been killed thus far.

In other developments:

● U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday ranked as the most intense day yet of U.S. strikes inside Iran. The Islamic Republic, its firepower diminished, vowed to fight on. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war’s aim is a popular overthrow of Iran’s government, and “we are breaking their bones.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said U.S. President Donald Trump “is not making anything up” as he offers varying justifications for launching the war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war’s aim is a popular overthrow of Iran’s government, and “we are breaking their bones.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said U.S. President Donald Trump “is not making anything up” as he offers varying justifications for launching the war.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf dismissed any suggestion of seeking a ceasefire, while another top Iranian security official, Ali Larijani, warned Trump himself, writing on X that “Iran doesn’t fear your empty threats. Even those bigger than you couldn’t eliminate Iran. Be careful not to get eliminated yourself.”

● Russia is seeking a U.N. resolution urging all parties in the Iran war to immediately halt military activities.

The short draft resolution “condemns in the strongest terms all attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, and calls for their protection.”

It strongly encourages a quick return to negotiations and diplomacy but does not specifically name Iran, the United States or Israel.

The draft was put in a final form Tuesday evening. It could be put to a vote as early as today, following a vote on a resolution by Gulf nations demanding that Iran stop attacking its Arab neighbors.

● The Saudi Arabia Ministry of Defense said early today that it intercepted and destroyed six ballistic missiles launched toward Prince Sultan Air Base, a major U.S.- and Saudi-operated facility in eastern Saudi Arabia.

The ministry also said it intercepted and destroyed two drones over Hafar al-Batin, a major eastern city.

● Israeli strikes killed seven across southern Lebanon. It killed five and wounded five others in the town of Qana in the Nabatieh district, the Health Ministry said early today.

Another strike in the Tyre district killed one and wounded eight, while a separate strike in the Bint Jbeil district killed one and injured two, the ministry added.

● The Israeli military struck multiple areas early today after it said it was launching a series of strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure. No injuries were immediately reported.

Tens of thousands had already fled the area following Israel’s evacuation notice for all the southern suburbs.

● The U.S. Central Command said it has “eliminated” 16 minelayers.

The minelayers near the Strait of Hormuz were among multiple Iranian vessels taken out by U.S. forces on Tuesday, according to U.S. Central Command.

The military published the figure and unclassified footage of some of the vessels after Trump warned Iran against laying mines in the critical waterway.

● Sen. Kevin Cramer , R-N.D., raised questions on a school strike in Iran: ‘Get to the bottom of it,’ but ‘You can’t undo it,” he said.

The North Dakota Republican told reporters that an investigation into whether the U.S. military struck the school in Iran needs to “get to the bottom of it,” and then “admit if you know whose fault it is.”

If it the U.S. was behind it, Cramer said, the military must “do everything you can to eliminate those mistakes going forward.”

“But you also can’t undo it.”

● Sen. Lindsey Graham on school strike in Iran: “These things happen in war.”

The South Carolina Republican told reporters that he does not support an independent investigation into whether the U.S. military struck a school in Iran.

“I’m not worried about that right now,” said Graham, a staunch supporter of the war. “I’m sorry anybody died. I’m not taking the Iranian bait and listening to them.”

Graham added that if the U.S. were responsible for the deadly strike, it would be “a mistake.”

“These things happen in war,” he said.

About 185 were killed in the strike on the school on the first day of the war.

● The UN Security Council will vote on demanding Iran stop attacking its Arab neighbors.

The draft resolution, obtained by The Associated Press, condemns Iran’s attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. The measure calls for an immediate end to all strikes and threats against neighboring states, including through proxies.

A vote has been scheduled for this afternoon, three diplomats said, speaking on condition o.

The draft, sponsored by Gulf Cooperation Council members, would be the first Security Council resolution considered since Israel and the United States launched airstrikes on Iran and Tehran responded with attacks against Israel and across the region.

● The Trump administration offers $20 billion in reinsurance to get tankers moving.

Military escorts could reopen the Strait of Hormuz for oil and natural gas shipments and reduce a global supply shortage created by the Iran war. And Trump has said the U.S. Navy would escort oil tankers through the strait if necessary. But those escorts haven’t happened yet, the White House said Tuesday.

For now, the Trump administration is providing ship reinsurance — $20 billion on a rolling basis, the Development Finance Corp said.

More explosions heard in Doha as Iran’s neighbors intercept missiles

The Qatari Defense Ministry says it intercepted another missile attack from Iran. Earlier in the day, Qatar said it intercepted five Iranian ballistic missiles launched, with no casualties or damage reported.

The defense ministry of Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet headquarters, said it has intercepted 105 ballistic missiles and 176 drones since the war began. One hit a residential building in Bahrain’s capital, Manama, killing a 29-year-old woman and wounding eight others, the Interior Ministry said.

Israel’s military said it launched new airstrikes targeting Iran’s capital, Tehran, where witnesses reported some of the heaviest bombing yet. Hegseth said Tuesday’s U.S. bombardments would be the most intense so far in the war.
