A CNN report says the Pentagon has updated its casualty database, adding more than 140 previously unrecorded wounded to the official tally since the start of the Iran war. The revised figures list 18 U.S. service members killed and 624 wounded.
The Pentagon has updated its official casualty records for U.S. forces in the Iran war, adding more than 140 previously unreported wounded to the database, according to CNN. The revised tally now stands at 18 service members killed and 624 wounded since the start of operations.
The new figure represents an increase of 142 wounded from the previous official count of 482, which The Zioneer reported on July 22 citing a U.S. official who had said the true number was over 500. The Pentagon's update appears to address the reporting lag identified at the time.
The CNN report did not provide a breakdown of the new casualties by branch or incident type. The Pentagon has not issued a public statement on the update. The Zioneer has not independently verified the figures.
