Summary
Trump said in a Truth Social post that 18 US personnel were killed during four months of conflict with Iran, offering the figure as part of a comparison with past US wars.
He set that toll against 2,000 deaths in Afghanistan, 4,600 in Iraq, 58,220 in Vietnam and 36,574 in Korea to frame the Iran conflict as far less deadly for US forces.
Trump also wrote that the one-day Venezuela war caused no US deaths, extending the post into a broader accounting of American military casualties across conflicts.
