“The US is still hiding casualty figures from its failing Iran war. The Pentagon is ‘cooking the books’ on the number of soldiers killed and wounded by using outdated reporting to keep the public in the dark. The #Intercept’s Nick #Turse reported on 1 April:

Almost 750 U.S. troops have been wounded or killed in the Middle East since October 2023, an analysis by The Intercept has found. But the #Pentagon won’t acknowledge it”

US is lying through its teeth about Iran war casualties — and people are noticing

Hundreds of US personnel have been killed or injured in the region since the US launched a war on Iran just over a month ago

“Casualty Cover-Up”: The Pentagon Is Hiding U.S. Losses Under Trump in the Middle East

The Pentagon has sent outdated statements on the number of U.S. troops killed or wounded during the Iran War, resulting in undercounts.

The Intercept

I wonder when the American public are going to be asking what is being hidden from them by Hesgeth and Trump. They probably will continue to be misled.

But thank goodness for ‘contractors’ they don’t count unless they are killing civilians in Iraq (passim) in which case they are just innocent.

IRGC Aerospace Commander: Now, to the list of casualties and damages of Trump and Hegsat, apart from AWACS, tankers, and fuel tanks, a list of casualties and injuries of the flight crew has also been added.

They claim to have targeted the housing of 200 US military in KSA, and judging by the past, it is highly likely they are telling the truth.

Question is, will Pentagon admit it, or they hide it like they did with the attacks in Bahrain, Iraq and UAE.

In rare daytime drone blitz, Russia attacks western Ukrainian city largely spared from war's damage
In normal times, an assault of close to 1,000 Russian drones — many made from Iranian parts and designs — would dominate the news agenda. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attacks as "absolute depravity." At least six people were killed and a number of others injured.

The use of costly, advanced weaponry to defend against attacks by far cheaper drones has been a defining feature of the #war. The incident points to the risks & limitations of this strategy: The blast from the powerful Patriot, whether or not it intercepted a drone, contributed to widespread #damage & #casualties, while #Bahrain air defenses were unable to prevent strikes that night on the nearby #oil refinery, which declared force majeure hours later.
