Leavitt admits that "IN THE BALLPARK OF 150 AMERICAN TROOPS" have been wounded in Orange Rapin' Grampy's war with Iran

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 can’t confirm the exact number. I know it’s within that ballpark, but I would defer you to the Pentagon for a specific number,” she said.
