Casualty Count Dispute: Pentagon Revises Iran War Death Toll From 18 To 14 Amid Questions Over Reporting Timeline
The US Department of War revised the Iran conflict death toll from 18 to 14, removing four troops killed post-ceasefire.
The excluded service members are 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, and Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton.
Acting Pentagon press secretary Joel Valdez attributed the discrepancy to temporary data disruptions on the casualty portal.
The Pentagon did not publicly report three Iranian strikes in Jordan that injured dozens of US service members.
Donald Trump continued to cite the higher death toll of 18 after the revision.
