INTO THE SWAMP OF WAR. The Pentagon is deliberately concealing the true casualty numbers caused by Israel-Trump’s war on Persia (Iran).

Untold numbers of dead and injured US troops are being airbrushed off the public perception of how things are really going – badly for Trump’s war for Israeli interests.

‘Dozens of soldiers were injured in previously unreported strikes last week,’ the New York Times says

Information not in the public interest

The Pentagon has withheld information about dozens of service members injured during the war with Iran, The New York Times reported on Monday, citing US officials.

On Friday, Iran struck a US military site in Jordan, killing two soldiers, it is conceded, wounding four, and leaving one missing.

Question. Are these figures correct?

According to the New York Times, however, dozens of service members were injured throughout the week in three other strikes against American forces in the country. Several helicopters were also reportedly damaged in the attacks.

Built-In delays in information

An official told CNN that ’it can take several days or even weeks’ for an injury to be logged into the Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS), an official database.

It is claimed that a total of 427 service members have been injured in the war with Iran, the outlet reported, citing official figures.

Pentagon doesn’t want wild cheering

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell argued that ’providing real-time information on non-fatal casualties to the media is the same as providing that information directly to our adversaries.’

Parnell rejected what he called baseless and malicious accusations of hiding injury numbers.

So which version is correct?

Make up your mind, time. Withholding the numbers of casualties so as not to cause exultation or for other reasons?

‘Claims of concealment are fabrications meant to further distress the American people in the wake of three service members killed in action,’ Parnell said on X. 

’Cherry-picking raw numbers without context paints a deliberately misleading and incomplete picture,’ the spokesman added.

The Cost of War

The resumption of regular exchanges of strikes last week has once again put the spotlight on the costs of the war launched by the US and Israel in late February.

A service member was killed on Saturday while attempting to dispose of a drone in northern Iraq, bringing the official US death toll to 17.

The US launched strikes against Iran for a tenth consecutive night on Tuesday as both countries signalled that the truce was effectively over.

The Pentagon resumed its attacks in response to strikes on tankers and cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has accused the US of violating the memorandum of understanding signed on June 17 and has since said it would suspend its own commitments under the accord. Let readers know what you think
