The Pentagon said on Friday that 34 service members had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury following missile strikes by Iran on a base in Iraq earlier this month, a number higher than the military had previously announced. 

President Donald Trump and other top officials initially said Iran’s attack had not killed or injured any US service members.
