WASHINGTON, March 16 (Reuters) - The number of U.S. troops wounded in the war against Iran has risen to about 200, the U.S. military said on Monday, as the conflict enters its third week.

In a statement, the U.S. military's Central Command said the vast majority suffered minor injuries and 180 troops had already been returned to duty.
