The Central Command of the U.S. Armed Forces reported on February 28 that the damage from Iranian attacks on American facilities in the region was minimal and did not affect operations. However, on March 1, it was announced that three American servicemen had died as a result of these attacks, and five were seriously injured.
On the second day of the military operation by Israel and the United States, Iran confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military officials, including Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohammad Pakpour.
