A seventh American service member has been killed in the United States war with Iran.

The service member died Saturday night after being seriously injured during an attack on U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia on March 1, U.S. Central Command said in a statement Sunday.

“This is the seventh service member killed in action during Operation Epic Fury,” the statement said.

COVID-19 Response: By the time Donald Trump left office in January 2021, the U.S. COVID-19 death toll had exceeded 400,000. A Lancet commission report and other analyses argued that a significant portion of these deaths were avoidable and attributable to a "flawed" response to the pandemic. Some researchers estimated that thousands of these deaths were directly linked to actions like promoting ineffective treatments or discouraging mask usage.

What unarmed ship?

The Iris Dena, one of Iran’s newest warships, is a Moudge-class frigate that patrols in deep water for the Iranian navy. It features heavy guns, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles and torpedoes, and carries one helicopter.
The Iris Dena was the centerpiece of a two-ship international tour in 2023 that included port calls in countries including South Africa and Brazil. It was accompanied by the support ship IRIS Makran, a converted oil tanker.
The U.S. has struck or sunk a total of 20 Iranian vessels since the start of the war, the U.S. Central Command said Wednesday.


Rubio said the US military operation against Iran is meant “to eliminate the threat of Iran’s short range ballistic missiles and the threat posed by their Navy, particularly to naval assets.”

So that's seven flag-draped coffins, heading back to Fort Brag Texas, no doubt in the dark of night and hidden well away from the fake news.

The first of hundreds of casualties yet to come, excluding the thousands of Iranians, such as the 170 Iranian schoolgirls killed on Pete's direct order.

Operation Epic Fury? Operation Save Bibi. This one will be known as DL's endless war, a prez despised more than G W Bush in his lame duck days.

There's no escaping it. The polls are now showing the loss of both houses. JD's trying to stay well out of it. If he does, he won't get impeached when DL goes down.

Think on that, leftards. A simple vote in January 2027, and JD will be prez.

And while you stew on that, remember this: JD will pardon DL for everything.

We will make America great again, no?
