Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency said on Sept. 3 that at least six Iranian service members, three of them pilots, were killed in the U.S. strikes of Sept. 1; Al Jazeera described the six as navy personnel. Iran's health ministry had put the toll from those strikes at 18 dead without separating civilians from military personnel.

Why it matters

Iran's army called its Sept. 3 missile and drone strikes on bases in Kuwait and the UAE retaliation for the civilians and 'brave members of the armed forces' killed in U.S. strikes that week.
