More than 600 U.S. Troops Wounded in Iran War, Says Pentagon in Update
The revised database adds more than 200 wounded troops after separating casualties into two periods and restoring four deaths removed from the tally.
- On Sunday, the Pentagon updated Iran war casualty figures to 624 wounded and 18 killed, introducing a new reporting system splitting data into Operation Epic Fury and Overseas Operations categories.
- Officials attributed the shifting tallies to "temporary data disruptions" after the Defense Casualty Analysis System previously revised deaths downward to 14 and wounded to 420, prompting scrutiny of reporting practices.
- Data shows 207 service members were wounded since July 7, including 182 soldiers, while Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell reported that 96% of the nearly 100 injured since July 7 have returned to duty.

- U.S. forces have paused strikes for three days following concerns over depleted munitions stockpiles, though President Donald Trump stated the military remains "locked and loaded" should the conflict reignite.
