Pentagon Adds 37 Wounded Troops to Iran Conflict Tally Without Explanation
The Pentagon's public count of U.S. troops wounded in the Iran conflict increased by 37, raising the total to 861, without explanation of when or how these injuries occurred. The additions include 29 Navy sailors and eight Marines, all reportedly returned to duty. The Defense Casualty Analysis System database categorizes many casualties under 'Overseas Operations' following a July ceasefire that later collapsed. Military officials and U.S. Central Command have not commented on recent incidents explaining the new entries.
