It has been almost three weeks since the ongoing war in the Middle East. During this period, the number of American soldiers injured in the war with Iran has increased to approximately 200. The American military officer gave this information on Monday (16 March 2026). Apart from this, 13 American soldiers have also died since the beginning of the war. This war started on February 28, when Iran retaliated against Israel and American bases in the Middle East.

The United States Central Command of the US Army said that most of the soldiers suffered minor injuries. According to spokesperson Tim Hawkins, more than 180 out of 200 soldiers have returned to duty after treatment, while about 10 soldiers are seriously injured.

Attacks took place in many countries during the Iran-America war.

American soldiers have been injured in Bahrain, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. In this war that has been going on for three weeks, Iran has targeted American military bases, fighter planes and diplomatic missions.

Huge losses in Iran and other countries also

These include about 200 women and 200 children, while more than 10,000 civilians have been injured. So far 14 people have died in Israel, while 886 people are reported dead in Lebanon. Due to this fighting, more than 1 million people in Lebanon have been forced to leave their homes.

The path to Iran-America agreement is not visible yet

At present there has been no indication of talks or agreement between US President Donald Trump and Iran. Trump has warned to intensify the attack on Iran’s strategic oil center Kharg Island. Meanwhile, America is preparing to increase its military presence in the Middle East. Under this, a plan is being made to deploy additional naval and warships.

US President Donald Trump, changing his stance on the Russia-Ukraine war, indicated on Thursday that he is now in favor of “allowing Ukraine” to fight “. After meeting Putin in Alaska, Trump said that war cannot be won only by defense and “interesting time is coming.”

Trump’s changed trend
Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that war against any “invading country” can not be won only by defense. Giving examples, he said that as if a magnificent team has good defense, but if it is not allowed to attack, then victory is impossible. However, he did not directly call Russia a “invading country”.

Biden directly attacked

Trump, while targeting the President Joe Biden, said that he allowed Ukraine only to rescue, not to attack. Trump said- “If I were President, this war would never have started. It was zero probability.”

Statement after Alaska summit
Recently, his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska could not reach any concrete result. After this, Trump met Ukrainian President Volodimir Jailonsky and said that if everything goes well, a triple talk will be held. He emphasized permanent peace, not a short -term agreement.

No American soldiers will be sent
Trump also clarified that America would not send its soldiers to Ukraine. However, he claimed that European allied countries wish that they should send soldiers to Ukraine under security guarantee. Trump said that America is ready to help in other ways.

Strict objection of Russia
Russia again reiterated that it would oppose any Western military deployment in Ukraine. Russian External Affairs Minister Sergei Lavarov said that serious discussion on security guarantees is not possible without Russia’s participation. He said- “It is useless to talk about security guarantee without Russia.”

War continues, Russia’s missile attack
Meanwhile, Russia attacked a missile at an American -owned electronics factory in Mukachevo city of Western Ukraine. At least 15 people were injured in this attack and the factory suffered heavy losses. Ukrainian officials confirmed this, while the US media NPR also reported it.
