WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) – It should take time to attain U.S. army aims in Iran and extra U.S. casualties areexpected, U.S. Common Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Workers, mentioned on Monday.
The U.S.-Israeli air battle in opposition to Iran expanded on Monday with no sign of ending. The U.S. army mentioned Kuwait’s air defenses had mistakenly shot down three American F-15E fighter jets throughout an Iranian assault.

A fourth U.S. service member on Monday died of accidents sustained within the U.S. operation in opposition to Iran.
