Pentagon ties new casualty category for renewed US-Iran fighting to the end of 'Operation Epic Fury'

The Pentagon has created a new casualty category called 'Overseas Operations' to track U.S. troops killed and wounded in renewed U.S.-Iran fighting after the conclusion of 'Operation Epic Fury.' Four soldiers killed this month and dozens wounded in recent strikes were moved from the Iran war tally, with the total wounded now at 642 across both categories. The conflict involves U.S. and Iran strikes over the Strait of Hormuz, following a tenuous ceasefire in April.
