US Military Casualties Exceed 770 as Iran Conflict Reaches Six Months
US military casualties in the Iran conflict have surpassed 770, including 18 deaths and over 750 wounded, according to Pentagon data reported by The Washington Post. The figures include recent additions possibly delayed in reporting. Despite the ceasefire's expiration and no extension by President Trump, large-scale combat has not resumed. CNN noted the Pentagon's new 'Overseas Operations' category, starting July 7, aligns with the US notifying Congress of a new conflict phase, though details remain unspecified.
