MATT WHITEPATTY NIEBERGNICHOLAS SLAYTON , Task & Purpose; Pentagon reveals hundreds of new Iran war casualties
More than 600 troops have been wounded in the Iran war, officials disclosed Saturday, almost 200 more than previously known.
"The Pentagon revealed Saturday that more than 600 troops have been injured or killed in the conflict with Iran, a casualty total more than 200 higher than previously revealed publicly. The new figures were released as part of an apparent overhaul of the Defense Department’s official casualty reporting system, which now splits the war, for the first time, into two time periods.
The new figures bring the current total of U.S. troops wounded in the war to 624, according to the Defense Casualty Analysis System, or DCAS. As of Friday, DCAS listed the number of troops injured in the conflict at 420."
