It identified the four as Captain Cody Khork, 35, Sergeant Declan Coady, 20, Sergeant 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, and Sergeant 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42.
All four were "supporting Operation Epic Fury," which the US has named its strikes against Iran, it added.
Two others who were also killed in action have not been publicly identified.
On Monday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said a total of six US military personnel were killed since the start of the Iran war over the weekend.
"US forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran's initial attacks in the region," CENTCOM said in a post on X.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned on Tuesday that they would unleash more intense attacks on the US and Israel as the war spread across the region.
