Wyatt’s Take

• Six U.S. troops gave their lives battling Iranian aggression in Operation Epic Fury.
• Iran’s first strikes hit hard, wounding 18 more seriously.
• Two unaccounted troops from a struck facility raised the death toll to six.
• Secretary Pete Hegseth kept the site’s location secret during his briefing.
• President Trump plans a Dover visit or White House welcome for the families.
