The Pentagon is using a new method to undercount U.S. casualties in Iran by separating data into a new 'Overseas Operations' webpage, according to a government official who claimed the approach 'obscures the count.'

The Pentagon updated its war casualty database, adding over 140 wounded service members and introducing a new 'Overseas Operations' category for casualties starting July 7. The official toll for Operation Epic Fury now lists 14 service members killed and more than 400 wounded in action.
