Four U.S. Service Members Killed in Iran Operations

0:00It's March 4 in Tampa Bay, let's get into the news. The Pentagon has named four out of six U.S. service members killed during operations against Iran. One of them is Captain Cody A. Quirk, a 35-year-old Army reserve soldier from Winter Haven, Florida. The other three identifiers Sergeant First Class Noah L. Tygens, 42, from Bellevue, Nebraska, Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and Sergeant Declan J. Cody, 20, from West Des Moines, Iowa. All four were part of the 103rd Systemate Command based in Des Moines, Iowa, and they died on March 1, in Port Shwiva, Kuwait, when a drone struck their command center. This happened just one day after the U.S. and Israel began their military campaign against Iran, which has fired back with strikes of its own. The incident is still under investigation, with two service members yet to be identified. There's say six Americans have died overseas in these operations so far, and at least five others suffered serious wounds.
