US President Donald Trump was present at the return of six American troops killed since the launch of the attacks on Iran, as their coffins were transported by a military plane.
Speaking earlier this afternoon, Trump said it is a "very sad situation."
"They are great heroes in our country and we will keep them as such," he added.
The six soldiers, pictured below, were killed when a drone struck a port in Kuwait on Sunday.
