Pentagon Spokesman Jonathan Hoffman tells reporters that 34 U.S. troops have been diagnosed with concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) after an Iranian missile strike on a military base in Iraq earlier this month in reprisal for the U.S. drone strike that killed General Qasem Soleimani.

Nine others are receiving treatment and evaluations in Germany. One soldier sent to Kuwait has since returned to Iraq.
