Winter Haven man identified as one of the six U.S. troop casualties in Iran war

The Associated Press

An American soldier from Winter Haven, Florida, has been identified as one of the six U.S. casualties in the Iran war. Three other soldiers were also identified. Israel stepped up airstrikes on Iranian missile launchers and a nuclear research site, and Iran retaliated against Israel and across the Gulf region, disrupting energy supplies and travel. As explosions rang out in Tehran and in Lebanon — where Israel said it struck Hezbollah militants — the American embassy in Saudi Arabia and the U.S. consulate in the United Arab Emirates came under drone attacks. Four days into a war that President Donald Trump suggested would last several weeks but perhaps longer, hundreds of people have been killed in Iran, including people Trump said he had considered as possible future leaders of the country.
