The Pentagon on Tuesday identified four of the six American troops killed in the opening hours of the war with Iran.<\/p>\n

Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; and Spc. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa, died Saturday in Kuwait from an Iranian drone attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All soldiers were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command, an Army Reserve unit based in Des Moines, Iowa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All six died in the same attack at Shuaiba port in Kuwait, a commercial harbor that doubles as a logistics hub through which the U.S. military ships tactical vehicles and supplies into the region.<\/p>\n

The other two names are being withheld until a day after the next of kin have been notified. An additional 18 service members were wounded in the strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The six represent the first Americans killed in action in the joint U.S.-Israel war against Iran.<\/p>\n

The joint U.S.-Israel campaign entered its fourth day Tuesday, with American forces having struck more than 1,700 targets inside Iran as fighting spread across at least a dozen countries.<\/p>\n

Trump and top Pentagon officials warned the toll is expected to rise.<\/a><\/p>\n

“We expect to take additional losses, and as always, we will work to minimize U.S. losses,” Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Monday.<\/p>\n
