Two fronts moved today. On Iran, the Pentagon disclosed that 767 US troops have been wounded since the war restarted — the first such casualty figure released, underscoring that this round is not cost-free for US forces despite the framing of precision strikes. Iran's retaliation has now hit Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain with missiles and drones this week, and CBS News confirmed via open-source ship-tracking data that Iran struck the Senegal Prosperity, a Liberia-flagged, South Korean-owned crude tanker — following an earlier Sep 1 strike on the MT Sidr that killed two seafarers. Trump told reporters Iran is 'small potatoes' and that the US has 'essentially' taken it over, while Vice President Vance said 'I wouldn't call it a war.' Iran has separately accused the US of 'deliberately attacking civilian targets.' South Korea has deployed naval assets to Hormuz corridor security, the first non-US naval commitment to the effort. Treasury Secretary Bessent says 10 million barrels a day are transiting the strait; independent analysts at the International Crisis Group estimate the real figure is likely lower, in the 5-7 million bpd range as of August. On Ukraine, Russian combat losses reached approximately 1,493,790 as of Sep 4 (+1,440). Kyiv endured an eighth consecutive night of drone strikes, with the injured toll reaching 13, including a 12-year-old child. Ukrainian forces regained territory between Dvorichna and Zapadne in the Kharkiv sector.
