A United States official has disclosed that no fewer than 303 US troops have been wounded in the war with Iran as the conflict nears its one-month mark.
According to ABC News, the official also revealed that of those wounded, 273 have returned to duty and 10 were seriously wounded.
The official further noted that the majority of wounds are traumatic brain injuries, wounds which can cause memory issues, migraines, fatigue and numerous cognitive issues.
He added that those wounds are being driven by Iranian one-way attack drones, and other explosive munitions, and troops being caught in the blast.
According to Veterans Affairs data, those diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury are nearly twice as likely to die by suicide compared to those without a diagnosis.
The closure followed the war which broke out between the United States/ Israel and Iran on February 28.
The war has resulted in the death of the Iranian Supreme Leader and many others, as well as bombing of every US interest in the Middle East.
