The U.S. military has now confirmed 11 of its troops were injured during Iran's attack on an Iraqi base.
A statement said some were taken to U.S. facilities in Germany or Kuwait as a measure of caution.
That's despite initially saying no service members had been hurt.
The missile attack on January 8th hit Ain al-Asad air base - where US forces were stationed.
And came days after a U.S. strike killed a top Iranian commander.
U.S. President Trump spoke about Iran's retaliation at a recent campaign rally, where he reiterated that no troops were injured: (SOUNDBITE)(English) U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, SAYING: " I said, how many?
How many died?
How many were wounded?
Sir, none." On Thursday (January 16) though, the U.S. military put out a statement saying several service members were treated for concussion symptoms. With some still being assessed.
It also said though - all are expected to return to Iraq when deemed fit for duty.
