The United States has lost two additional MQ-9 Reaper drones during the ongoing war in Iran, bringing the total number of drone losses to eleven. According to CBS News, the drones were downed during 'Operation Epic Fury'. The US Central Command also reported that the number of American military fatalities in the conflict has risen to eight, following the death of a National Guard soldier who was injured in Kuwait on March 6.

The conflict, now entering its second week, initially began as a confrontation between Iran and Israel but has since expanded into a broader regional war. The fighting has already spread to Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and the Gulf region, intensifying instability across the Middle East.

The growing scope of the conflict suggests continued military escalation and regional disruption, though the source provides no details on diplomatic or ceasefire efforts.
