A US service member has succumbed to injuries sustained during an Iranian attack on US troops in Saudi Arabia on March 1, bringing the death toll of US service members to seven, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Sunday, Anadolu reports.

“The service member was seriously wounded at the scene of an attack on US troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” CENTCOM said on the US social media company X, adding that the person died last night.

The identity of the fallen member will be withheld until next of kin are notified, it said.

All of the previously reported deaths were from an attack in Kuwait; this is the first death reported outside that country.

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned that more casualties are likely as the campaign continues. “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends,” he said earlier this month, noting “we’ll do everything possible where that won’t be the case.”

The announcement came as the US-Israeli joint attacks on Iran entered their ninth day.

The campaign, launched last Saturday, has reportedly killed more than 1,200 people in Iran, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting US military assets and Gulf countries across the region.

Starmer attempts to make up with the warmongering US president as tens of thousands protest against the bombing of Iran over the weekend

SIR KEIR STARMER attempted to make friends with Donald Trump today after the warmongering US president criticised Britain’s slowness in joining the US-Israeli attack on Iran.

The Prime Minister spoke to Mr Trump about the countries’ military co-operation, Downing Street said, after the decision not to grant permission for use of British bases in the first wave of military action prompted a raft of criticism from the Republican leader.

Sir Keir has now granted permission for “defensive” US action against Iranian missile sites from British bases, despite opposition to war from the British public.

Over the weekend, four US bombers landed in RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, and the US started using British bases for “specific defensive operations.”

It came as tens of thousands gathered in protest against the bombing of Iran over the weekend.

Protesters carried signs reading “Stop Trump’s Wars” and “Stop Arming Israel,” as they marched to the US embassy in central London from Millbank.

Addressing the crowd outside the embassy, Your Party MP Zarah Sultana recalled the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, telling the crowd: “Back then, we were told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

“We were told that war would bring peace and democracy.

“We were told that the war would protect Iraqis and protect the world, but the truth was very different.”

But “23 years ago, when we marched against the Iraq war, we were ignored,” she said.

“We will not be ignored again, because history proved them right.

“And today, we raise our voices for peace, for justice and for a world where governments learn the lessons of the past.”

A statement from former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who could not attend the protest, was read to the crowd outside the embassy.

In the statement, Mr Corbyn, now also a Your Party MP, said: “For too long, the UK has blindly followed the US as it indulges in catastrophic interventions around the world.

“We are here to defend something different, a foreign policy based on co-operation, equality and sovereignty.

“Forever war is not a game. It has real-life human consequences, and US and Israel must be held accountable.”

Stop the War Coalition convener Lindsey German said every war “they have engaged in in the last 25 years, they’ve claimed they’ve done it to liberate women.”

“That’s what they’re saying about the war on Iran as well,” she said. “But the first thing that they did was to kill 165 young girls in a school.

“We should never, ever believe their lies.”

She told Sir Keir: “Stop appeasing Donald Trump all the way to world war three.

“We’re absolutely fed up with this gangster imperialism.”

Zack Polanski: I predict a Green wave in the local elections. Anyone who thinks our byelection win was an outlier is mistaken

Since the Gorton and Denton victory, I have travelled the UK and seen the energy that result unleashed. More will follow

This week, I sat in the gallery of the House of Commons and watched a historic moment unfold: Hannah Spencer was sworn in as the MP for Gorton and Denton, making her the first female plumber to sit in parliament, and the first ever Green MP in the north of England.

It marked the start of a new era: for Gorton and Denton, for the Green party and for British politics across the board. It’s not hyperbole to say that our win – in a seat that was 127th on our target list – has changed everything.

A major poll this week proves this, showing that people intend to vote Green at the next election in higher numbers than ever. We have leapfrogged Labour in the polls and are nipping at Reform UK’s heels – because people can see that we are the only party genuinely taking the fight to Reform and spelling out clearly how we’ll end rip-off Britain.

We’ll lower bills by bringing water into public ownership and ending shareholder profiteering. We’ll tackle inflation and the cost of living at the same time with sensible measures such as rent controls. And by taxing the wealth of the super-rich fairly, we can ensure that money flows through our economy rather than being hoarded in assets or offshore accounts.

These are popular, commonsense ideas. For a long time, voters have enthusiastically backed the Green party’s policies – but have often stopped short of supporting us at the ballot box, afraid to “waste” their vote. We saw that change in Gorton and Denton – and that result unlocked a new level of confidence for potential Green voters that they can truly vote for what they want and get it.

Britain at a ‘dangerous turning point’

Major protests to take place as campaigners warn against war on Iran

MAJOR demonstrations will be held outside the US embassy and at RAF Fairford today amid growing fears Donald Trump’s war on Iran will kill hundreds of thousands of people.

Campaigners warned that Britain was at a “dangerous turning point” as the US-Israel bombings of Tehran continues to escalate.

PM Sir Keir Starmer’s claims the US can only use British bases for so-called “defensive” bombings will be branded “nonsense” by Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn MP, who is set to speak outside the embassy in central London.

Stop the War Coalition national convener Lindsey German said: “We are at such a dangerous turning point and must redouble our efforts to oppose Trump’s wars, to call for an end to our government’s support for them and to stop arming and backing Israel. 

“Keir Starmer knows the US and Israel are waging an illegal war on Iran, but the fact is Britain is deeply involved. 

“That’s why this is such an important demonstration in building a movement in this country as strong as the Palestine movement, as strong as the opposition to the Iraq war — one that rejects a world based on barbarism and Trump’s gangster imperialism and instead builds one based on peace and justice.”
