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.

‘Stop appeasing Trump all the way to World War III,’ Starmer told

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.”

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.”

Four Palestinians, including a child, were killed and another wounded Friday by Israeli gunfire and shelling that targeted areas in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, in a new violation of a ceasefire in force since Oct. 10,  Anadolu reports.

Ismail Aql, 12, was killed after Israeli forces opened fire near the Khalifa School in northern Gaza, which shelters displaced civilians.

Another Palestinian, Ayman Ahmed al-Nabih, 54, was killed in Israeli shelling that targeted the Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City. His body was transferred to the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the city center.

Witnesses told Anadolu that Israeli artillery shelled the area where al-Nabih was present, which lies outside the Israeli army’s deployment zone under the ceasefire agreement.

In the Tuffah neighborhood, 22-year-old Rizq Iyad al-Sharafa was wounded when an Israeli drone targeted a gathering of civilians near the al-Sharafa roundabout, east of al-Mahatta Park, according to a medical source.

Earlier, Abdelwahab Asaad Qanbour, 32, was killed in Israeli shelling that targeted the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City. His body was also transferred to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.

Witnesses said an Israeli drone struck Qanbour while he was near Salah al-Din Street in Shujaiya, in an area outside Israeli troop deployment zones.

Since the Gaza ceasefire took effect, Israeli violations involving shelling and gunfire have killed 636 Palestinians and wounded 1,704 others as of Thursday, according to Palestinian sources.

The deal was reached after two years of a genocidal war launched by Israel on Oct. 8, 2023. The war left more than 72,000 Palestinians dead and 172,000 wounded, while destroying roughly 90% of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at about $70 billion.

Morning Star Editorial: Keep British bases out of Trump’s reckless war

 Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer speaks to soldiers at the RAF base in Akrotiri, Cyprus, during his three-day trip to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Cyprus, December 10, 2024

JEREMY CORBYN’S Bill demanding parliamentary oversight of the use of British bases for foreign countries’ wars is urgent and necessary.

Our craven Prime Minister has already given the United States permission to use British bases in the Middle East for its war of aggression against Iran.

Reversing that is essential to keep Britain out of a war we did not choose and which most British people oppose. It is also the most immediate practical step we can take to limit the escalation of the war we are already seeing across the Middle East.

Donald Trump was emboldened to start war with Iran because no US ally was prepared to stand up to his illegal aggression against Venezuela at the start of the year.

Having kidnapped the leader of one country, he has now killed the leader of another; still our government won’t acknowledge that the Trump White House is the biggest threat to peace and stability worldwide.

War crimes of the worst sort are normalised by the refusal to hold perpetrators to account. Having watched his allies make excuse after excuse for the mass murder he has inflicted on Gaza, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu fears no retaliation for incinerating 150 schoolgirls in Iran.

This impunity is dangerous: it leads the US and Israel to conclude they can do what they like. That means more atrocities and more wars.

Turning our bases into targets by allowing the US to use them to strike Iran increases the risk the war will spread.

And escalation is inherent in this war, started without defined aims or an exit strategy.

So poorly planned, in fact, that Trump himself admits the US didn’t make arrangements to evacuate its embassies in the region because “it happened very quickly” — a poor excuse in a conflict you started yourself. US Senator Elizabeth Warren, after a classified briefing, is blunt: “The Trump administration has no plan in Iran.”
