Follow-up: Jan. 8 Missile Attack Left 34 US Troops with Brain Injuries

Summary from the AllSides News Team

A Pentagon spokesman said Friday that 34 U.S. troops were treated for traumatic brain injuries stemming from the Jan. 8 Iranian missile attack on an American military base in Iraq. 17 soldiers remain under treatment; the statements followed separate reports last week that 11 troops had been treated for head trauma after initial reports said no U.S. soldiers were hurt. The news was covered widely by left- and center-rated outlets Friday, with many focusing on President Trump's initial statement that the U.S. suffered "no casualties" in the attack. As of Friday evening, the Washington Times was the only right-rated outlet to cover the statements.
