Pentagon Created Separate Category for Iran War Deaths, Making Tally Hard to Track The Pentagon has introduced a new category for reporting casualties in the ongoing Iran conflict, which obscures rather than clarifies the true extent of the war's toll.
The Defense Department has separated deaths and injuries into two distinct categories, with July 7 serving as an arbitrary cutoff date. This move effectively creates a veil of secrecy around its own reporting.
The creation of this new category is not merely a minor adjustment in accounting practices; it represents a significant departure from transparency and accountability.
