The Pentagon has changed how it reports casualties in the Iran war, creating a new category for deaths and injuries since July 7 that makes it more difficult to tally the conflict's full toll, according to a New York Times report.

The US Department of Defense reduced the count of American troops killed in the Iran war from 18 to 14. Key details here.

The Department has not included service members who died in Iran last weekend in their official list of casualties, according to a report.
