The Pentagon changed the casualty figures for the war with Iran.

DnevnikIndependent🔒Center3 hr. ago

The Pentagon has altered the way it reports casualties from the conflict with Iran, sparking political debate over transparency and accuracy. Initially, the U.S. military reported 14 deaths and over 400 injuries during the early phase of Operation Epic Fury. After updates, the number of American fatalities rose to at least 18, with over 600 injured. Some casualties were reclassified into a new category called 'overseas operations,' raising concerns about the clarity of the overall casualty count. Lawmakers have criticized the administration for lacking clear explanations regarding the data management. The conflict between the U.S. and Iran intensified after a period of ceasefire, with Iran threatening to halt attacks if the U.S. maintains its bombing pause. However, relations remain tense. Financial costs of the military operations are estimated to exceed ten billion dollars, with additional funding still under discussion in Congress. Civilian and military losses on the Iranian side are difficult to verify due to limited access to information.
