Pentagon list of service members killed in Iran war removes most recent four
New York Times reports that list of those killed changed from 18 on Wednesday to 14 on Thursday
The Pentagon’s official online list of service members killed in the ongoing Iran war does not include the four soldiers who died during renewed fighting over the weekend, despite the fact that their names were included in https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4552653/nations-leaders-honor-the-fallen-during-dignified-transfer/">a Pentagon press release on the formal transfer of their remains back to the United States on Wednesday.
A review of https://dcas.dmdc.osd.mil/dcas/conflictCasualties/oefu/byMonth">the current list on the Pentagon’s Defense Casualty Analysis System website shows that, despite having been last updated on Wednesday, the number of US military personnel killed during Operation Epic Fury, the Pentagon’s name for the US-Israeli war on Iran that Donald Trump launched on 28 February, remains at 14.
