Revised Casualty Figures Include Noncombat Deaths And Wounded
The Pentagon has revised the number of US service members killed during operations against Iran to 21, including two noncombat deaths. The updated figures also show 865 service members have been wounded. The changes come after reports that the Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) was underreporting fatalities. Democratic members of the House Armed Services Committee welcomed the revised figures but criticized the Pentagon for the initial inaccuracy. The Pentagon’s move was first reported by The Media Line.
