Pentagon alters Iran war loss count

The Intercept newspaper quoted an American official as saying that the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) has adopted a new mechanism for calculating soldier losses during the war against Iran, aimed at hiding the true number of casualties from the public. Since July 7th, these losses have been categorized under a new section called "Overseas Operations," which has led to an increase in the total figure from 404 to 704 killed and wounded—a rise of 83%. The Pentagon justified this change by stating that it comes after the conclusion of Operation "Wrath of the Giant" and that the casualties are now classified under the responsibility of the Central Command in the Middle East. However, American sources criticized this move, considering it an attempt to conceal the real losses, especially following Iran's targeting of several U.S. bases and the escalation of attacks in the region.
