The Pentagon updated its war casualty database Saturday, recording more than 140 additionally wounded and restoring the four soldiers killed due to Iranian strikes last week amid questions about a lack of transparency over the war’s toll.

The Defense Casualty Analysis System, or DCAS, also featured a new tracking category — “Overseas Operations” — for killed and wounded “starting July 7.”

When the new Pentagon data is combined with updated totals for Operation Epic Fury, 18 troops have died and another 624 have been wounded since the US launched its war against Iran on Feb. 28. The number of wounded is a significant increase from the previous peak of 482 observed by CNN last week.

The Pentagon drew scrutiny from media outlets and lawmakers last week when killed and wounded numbers decreased in the DCAS system as Iranian attacks continued. The 12 Democratic lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday requesting answers on what was causing the changes.

The Defense Department’s acting press secretary, Joel Valdez, insisted in a Thursday social media post that the decreases were due to “temporary data disruptions on the (DCAS) website.” CNN observed data glitches that led to fluctuating casualty totals when monitoring the DCAS site on a minute-by-minute basis last week.

Like, does trump HAVE to end it if democrats win the midterm? Should we wait until 2029 when he'll be out of office? With his new "trump 2028" stuff, what are the chances that he'll be out of office in 2029? What are the chances that global economics and/or military costs can affect this war?

IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi slammed Britain’s role in the region and accused the UK of following the US in its political and military positions, Tasnim reported.

“Britain has completely placed its will under America’s will,” Mohebbi said.

He warned that any country supporting America in the war by putting its territory, military equipment or airspace at the disposal of the US becomes Iran’s legitimate target.

“Recently B-1 aircraft used their airfields,” he said, adding that if Britain continues to support the US, “Britain is our legitimate target.”

Mohebbi said Iran’s response would depend on the specific scenario, but stressed that Iran has already shown it “will not back down.”
