"Pentagon's Shift in Casualty Reporting Sparks Concerns Over Transparency. In a move that has raised eyebrows among critics, the U.S. Department of Defense has begun separating its casualty counts for U.S. troops killed or wounded since July 7 from those sustained during the initial months of the Iran conflict. This change in reporting methodology has sparked concerns that the Pentagon is attempting to downplay the true extent of American losses in the war, potentially undermining public trust in the government's transparency. As the conflict in Iran continues to escalate, questions are being raised about the motivations behind this shift and what it may reveal about the true cost of the war."
U.S. troops killed or wounded since July 7 are now counted separately from casualties during the first months of the Iran war. The post The Pentagon Found a New Way to Undercount U.S. Casualties in Iran appeared first on The Intercept.
