A U.S. service member who was critically injured in an Iranian assault on American forces in Saudi Arabia has died, marking the seventh U.S. military casualty during Operation Epic Fury.

The service member, whose identity has not been disclosed, sustained severe injuries during a missile and drone attack by Iran on March 1, which targeted U.S. bases throughout the Middle East, as stated by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

“Last night, a U.S. service member succumbed to injuries sustained in the Iranian regime’s initial attacks across the Middle East,” CENTCOM announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday afternoon.

The statement continued, “The service member was gravely injured in an assault on U.S. forces stationed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on March 1.”

CENTCOM has decided to withhold the service member’s name for 24 hours to ensure that their family is notified first.

This tragic news follows the recent death of NYPD Officer and esteemed Army veteran Sorffly Davius, who passed away due to a health crisis while on a National Guard deployment in Kuwait.

On Saturday, President Trump flew to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where the bodies of six Army Reserve members were flown to after they died when an Iranian drone struck a US facility in Kuwait.

The president, wearing a white USA baseball cap as he stood next to first lady Melania Trump for the somber moment, saluted as soldiers carried the flag-draped caskets containing the remains of the fallen heroes.

“It’s a sad part of war,” the president later said aboard Air Force One. “It’s the bad part of war.”

Also taking part in the solemn event were Vice President JD Vance, second lady Usha Vance, Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, among others.  

The six slain reservists were: Nicole Amor, 39; Cody Khork, 35; Declan Coady, 20; Robert Marzan, 54; Jeffrey O’Brien, 45; and Noah Tietjens, 42.

Last week the president warned there would “likely be more” US casualties in the conflict, posting on Truth Social on Friday that “there will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”
