CENTCOM says three U.S. service members were killed and five were listed as seriously wounded.
Several other troops sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions and are being returned to duty.
The violence followed Operation Epic Fury, a U.S. and Israeli bombardment targeting IRGC command and control, air defenses, missile and drone sites, and military airfields.
An Israeli official and President Donald Trump said Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the strikes while Iran reports at least 201 dead and more than 700 injured.
