More than 600 U.S. Troops Wounded in Iran War, Says Pentagon in Update
The revised tally follows a database overhaul that split casualties into two phases and restored deaths and injuries previously removed from public totals.
- On Sunday, the Pentagon updated Iran war casualty figures to 624 wounded and 18 killed, introducing a new reporting system splitting data into Operation Epic Fury and Overseas Operations categories.
- Officials attributed the shifting tallies to "temporary data disruptions" after the Defense Casualty Analysis System previously revised deaths downward to 14 and wounded to 420, prompting scrutiny of reporting practices.
- Data shows 207 service members were wounded since July 7, including 182 soldiers, while Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell reported that 96% of the nearly 100 injured since July 7 have returned to duty.
- On Thursday, Senate Armed Services Committee Democrats demanded a "comprehensive accounting" from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing "inconsistent" reporting on human costs of the conflict.
- U.S. forces have paused strikes for three days following concerns over depleted munitions stockpiles, though President Donald Trump stated the military remains "locked and loaded" should the conflict reignite.
