More Than 100 U.S. Troops Diagnosed with Brain Injuries from Iran Missile Strikes

(TKG) − The Pentagon confirmed more than 100 of U.S. military troops diagnosed with brain injury stemming from Iran’s missile attack on a base in Iraq last month, the Reuters news agency reported. 

Iran’s missile attacks on U.S. military bases in Iraq in retaliation for the U.S. killing of Revolutionary Guard General Qassem Soleimani left no U.S. troops killed or immediate bodily injuries; however, more than a hundred of them diagnosed with brain injuries, the Pentagon confirmed.

“The Pentagon, in a statement, confirmed that so far 109 U.S. service members had been diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury,” adding that “76 of them had returned to duty,” Reuters reported.

Following Iranian Revolutionary Guard General Qassem Soleimani’s assassination near Iraq international airport, Iran launched its retaliation attacks on U.S. military bases in Iraq that left brain injuries to more than a hundred of U.S. troops and service members.
