Iran Strikes Back: Iran Claims US Soldiers Taken Prisoner Amid Escalating War | WION Breaking

Iran’s Security Council chief Ali Larijani has claimed that American soldiers have been taken prisoner during the ongoing conflict with the United States. Posting on the social media platform X, Larijani said some U.S. troops were captured during fighting. He also accused Washington of spreading a “misleading narrative” about casualties in the conflict. According to Larijani, U.S. officials are falsely claiming that only five or six American soldiers were killed. The Iranian official alleged that Washington could increase its reported casualty figures over time. The claims come amid intensifying confrontation between Iran and the United States, with both sides issuing competing narratives about developments on the battlefield.
