Iran Alleges Capture of American Troops, US Rejects Claim
“It has been reported to me that several American soldiers have been taken prisoner. But the Americans claim that they have been killed in action,” Larijani wrote on the social media platform X. “Despite their futile efforts, the truth is not something they can hide for too long.”
The U.S. military quickly dismissed these assertions, emphasizing that no American personnel have been captured. A spokesperson for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) described Iran’s statements as false, according to reports.
The latest claims emerge amid heightened regional tensions following joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on February 28 targeting Iran, which reportedly resulted in over 1,000 casualties, including Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, more than 150 schoolgirls, and high-ranking military officials.
These developments have fueled instability across the region, with retaliatory actions by Tehran targeting sites linked to the United States throughout neighboring areas, as stated by reports.
