President Trump stated that the U.S.will continue its military actions despite losses, emphasizing Iran\u2019s damage and the effort to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. <\/p>\n<p>The conflict has led to the deaths of two U.S. service members-First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan and Private isabella Gonzales-and injuries to approximately 400 U.S. troops as the war began in late February.
