    Dozens of US soldiers suffered traumatic brain injuries in Iran attack, says the Pentagon

    Iran's military strike on a US airbase in Iraq left 34 soldiers with traumatic brain injuries, the Pentagon has admitted.

    In the immediate aftermath of the 8 January attack — retaliation for the assassination of Iran military chief Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike — US President Donald Trump took to Twitter to claim no troops had been injured.

    After the first reports that some soldiers had been hurt, Trump referred to them as `headaches and said the cases were not as serious as injuries involving the loss of limbs.
