Pentagon official Iran war death toll no longer lists 4 troops killed during renewed fighting
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Pentagon has removed four U.S. troops killed in recent fighting with Iran from its official war death toll, placing them in a new category called 'Overseas Operations.' This change has sparked concerns about accurately tracking casualties amid escalating U.S. strikes in the region. The Defense Casualty Analysis System previously reported 18 deaths and 482 injuries, but numbers fluctuated, with claims of over 500 wounded. The Pentagon's spokesperson attributed the changes to 'temporary data disruptions.' The renewed conflict began on February 28, with a ceasefire briefly established before hostilities resumed in July, complicating casualty reporting.
