4 U.S. troops killed as regional war widens

Operation Epic Fury has entered a deadly new phase as U.S. Central Command confirms four American service members have been killed in Iranian retaliatory strikes. The conflict has rapidly expanded across the Middle East, with Hezbollah launching missile barrages into Israel, Iraqi militias targeting U.S. bases, and a "friendly fire" incident in Kuwait involving three U.S. fighter jets. As global oil prices surge, President Trump warns that combat operations will continue in "full force."
