Trump attends return of first US troops killed in Iran warDOVER, United States, March 8, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump attended the return Saturday of the bodies of the first six US soldiers killed during the escalating war with Iran. Trump, wearing a white "USA" baseball cap, saluted as troops carried each flag-draped case from a military transport plane at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where the remains of US troops killed overseas are returned to American soil. The troops were killed last Sunday when a drone struck a key US command center in Kuwait, a day after the United States and Israel launched a sweeping military campaign against Iran. Trump traveled to Delaware for the transfer of the fallen troops after attending a summit of Latin American leaders Saturday morning in the southern state of Florida. In a post on his Truth Social platform, he warned the United States would hit Iran "very hard" and threatened to expand strikes to include new targets.
