The Pentagon Found a New Way to Undercount U.S. Casualties in Iran
The Pentagon is using a new method to undercount U.S. casualties in Iran by separating data into a new 'Overseas Operations' webpage, according to a government official who claimed the approach 'obscures the count.' The official casualty total rose to 704 after combining data from both systems, but unreported casualties may exceed 900. The change follows Iranian attacks that overwhelmed U.S. defenses.
