Summary
Roughly 140 U.S. service members have been injured in the 10-day Iran war so far, the Pentagon confirmed Tuesday.

He added that most of the injuries have been minor, and 108 of those wounded have returned to duty. State of play: The announcement comes as the Trump administration continues to send mixed messages about the status and trajectory of the war. Trump has said the offensive was set to last around four weeks but was moving ahead of schedule.Yes, but: He told reporters Monday: "We could call it a tremendous success right now ... or we could go further. And we're going to go further."Go deeper: Trump warns more U.S. troops will "likely" die in Iran attacks
