U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick apologizes after falsely claiming there had been no American deaths in the Iran war, acknowledging 18 U.S. service members have been killed. Lutnick says he “misspoke” and had Venezuela on his mind, while President Donald Trump defended him and blamed the mix-up on the Venezuelan military operation. The controversy comes as the Trump administration faces scrutiny over Iran war casualties, with more than 750 U.S. military personnel reportedly wounded in the conflict. #HowardLutnick #Lutnick #DonaldTrump #Trump #IranWar #IranConflict #USMilitary #AmericanDeaths #IranWarDeaths #TrumpAdministration #Venezuela #USServiceMembers #LutnickApology #BreakingNews #USPolitics ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
