Iranian National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani has claimed that several United States soldiers have been captured, alleging that Washington is attempting to conceal the situation. In a statement posted on social media, Larijani said he had been informed that multiple American troops were taken prisoner.

According to Larijani, the United States government has instead reported the soldiers as having been killed in action. He accused Washington of trying to hide the truth, asserting that such efforts would ultimately fail.

The remarks were made publicly and have heightened tensions, though no immediate response from United States officials was included. The situation remains developing.
