The Pentagon has implemented a new method of tallying U.S. casualties in the Iran war, separating recent figures from the overall count. This change, according to a U.S. government official, was designed to obscure the true number of casualties. The new method classifies casualties since July 7 as part of 'overseas operations' in the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The official total of dead and wounded personnel has been an undercount, with known casualties exceeding the official count by over 150. The change comes after increased Iranian attacks on U.S. bases and public reports of a higher casualty toll.
