India, March 2 -- A fourth service member has died after sustaining injuries amid rising Iran-US conflict, the US Central Command said.

"As of 7:30 am ET, March 2, four U.S. service members have been killed in action," US Central Command mentioned in a post on X. "The fourth service member, who was seriously wounded during Iran's initial attacks, eventually succumbed to their injuries."
