The Pentagon reported that at least 624 U.S. military service members have been wounded since President Donald Trump ordered strikes against Iran in February. According to the Defense Department's update on July 25, the injuries are divided between two campaigns, with 417 attributed to Operation Epic Fury and 207 resulting from other engagements.
The casualty count surpassed 600 following a quiet update from the Defense Department over the weekend. The release comes as the department faces ongoing questions and scrutiny regarding a perceived lack of transparency surrounding the total number of U.S. service members killed or wounded in the ongoing conflict.
In the same update, the Defense Department restored the recorded deaths of four service members who had been killed in the fighting.
