White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has admitted that about 150 American troops have been wounded in the war with Iran.
As the conflict entered its 11th day, Leavitt acknowledged the new figure as she updated reporters at the White House on Tuesday.
I cant confirm the exact number. I know its within that ballpark, but I would defer you to the Pentagon for a specific number, she said.
