US troops left with brain injuries after Iran’s revenge airstrikes

The Pentagon has confirmed that about thirty-four US soldiers have been diagnosed with concussion or traumatic brain injury following the Iranian missile attack on US bases, the Pentagon has confirmed.

The strikes were launched on January 8 in retaliation for the death of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani who was killed in a United States drone strike ordered by President Donald Trump.

The Pentagon spokesman, Jonathan Hoffman, said on Friday that eight service members who had been previously transported to Germany had been moved to the United States.

Hoffman confirmed the injuries on Friday, saying “This is a snapshot in time, what he wanted to make sure is that you’re provided with the most accurate numbers.”
