The U.S. Department of Defense has quietly changed its approach to releasing information about American military casualties, even as the number of deaths and injuries among U.S. service members from Iranian attacks climbed last week.
The shift in how the Pentagon communicates casualty figures came during an ongoing conflict with Iran, raising questions about transparency as Americans seek information on the toll the fighting is taking on U.S. troops.
The change in reporting procedures coincided with a period in which Iranian attacks resulted in an increased number of American military personnel being killed or wounded.
