The New York Times reports that the Pentagon's official online list of service members killed in the ongoing Iran war decreased from 18 to 14 between Wednesday and Thursday. This update does not include four soldiers who died during recent fighting over the weekend, even though their names were mentioned in a Pentagon press release regarding the transfer of their remains to the United States on Wednesday. A review of the Pentagon’s Defense Casualty Analysis System website indicates that the number of US military personnel killed during Operation Epic Fury, the name given to the US-Israeli war on Iran initiated by Donald Trump on February 28, remains at 14, despite the last update being on Wednesday.
