Fourteen weeks after President Donald Trump ordered an attack on Iran, the US military is adjusting to an unusual state of conflict. US troops operate amid exchanges of fire with Iran every few days, while the Navy blockades Iran's ports.
The Pentagon is scrambling to bolster production of depleted munitions as families of service members cope with the stress of extended deployments. Counterattacks from Iran continue against US allies in the region.
The conflict has taken a toll on troops and families, with around 400 US troops wounded and 13 killed. Families of US service members confront stress amid confusion about what is happening during the ceasefire, with Iranian state media publishing claims about attacking US ships and aircraft.
