How Many US Troops Were Killed by Iranian IED’s?

Posted on 9 September 2015 by The Tactical Hermit

Yeah, Mr. Kerry and BHO, that was a really great move signing off on a deal that gave these Iranian POS Billions of dollars to continue their terrorist activities….Never mind they were responsible for thousands of American deaths in Iraq. What do you call it when a Govt Official (The Secretary of State and President of the United States, No Less) that has took a sworn oath to defend Americans against all enemies foreign and domestic turns around and supports an enemy of the state so willingly?? Oh Yeah, I remember: YOU CALL THAT TREASON.

 I sincerely pray all the American lives you have dishonored by signing this treaty (including all of the Wounded Warriors who now suffer because of these IRANIAN EFP’s) and All the American Lives that WILL BE harmed in the future, HAUNT YOUR DREAMS for the rest of your days on earth. -SF

Explosively formed penetrators — a particularly deadly form of roadside bomb — killed 196 American soldiers in Iraq over a five-and-a-half-year period, according to recently declassified Pentagon documents.

That’s about half as many deaths as lawmakers have attributed to the bombs, which U.S. officials say were largely supplied by Iran’s elite Quds Force.

The carnage wrought by EFPs returned to the news over the summer, as opponents of the nuclear deal with Iran cited Tehran’s behind-the-scenes actions against U.S. troops during Operation Iraqi Freedom as a reason to scuttle the agreement. Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican who is also running for president, and others in Congress have said that EFPs had killed more than 500 troops.

“I understand that the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency has a classified list of roughly 500 American soldiers who were murdered by Iranian IEDs,” Cruz said at a July 29 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

But data from U.S. Central Command, which runs U.S. military operations in the Middle East, suggests the actual toll is far less. According to the first comprehensive accounting, between November 2005 and December 2011, 1,526 EFPs killed a total of 196 U.S. troops and injured 861.
