More than 600 US military service members injured since Iran War began in February

At least 624 US military service members have been wounded since President Donald Trump ordered strikes against Iran in February, according to the Pentagon's most recent update on 25 July. Among those wounded, 417 are attributed to Operation Epic Fury, while 207 are attributed to "Overseas Operations". The US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire in April and signed a Memorandum of Understanding in June, but attacks from both sides have occurred throughout. Last week, the Pentagon revised its figures on those injured and killed in the war, taking the names of four who died in Operation Epic Fury and moving them to the death count for Overseas Operations. On the Pentagon's Defense Analysis Casualty System, the death count for Operation Epic Fury, the name given to the initial attack, was listed at 18 as late as Tuesday, and 482 wounded.At some point, four of those names were removed, and on Thursday the death toll was reduced to 14. The four deceased soldiers' names now appear on Overseas Operations, which says it measures "casualties starting July 7th 2026". They are the only four listed deaths. The unexplained, silent changing of casualty statistics - for both the wounded and the dead - was criticised as undermining transparency.
