The Pentagon has quietly revised upward its official tally of American troops wounded since hostilities with Iran began, adding 29 sailors and eight Marines to the figures. Critics say the delayed disclosure amounts to censorship and misleading the public about the true human cost of the military campaign, and the revision is drawing sharp criticism from observers questioning the Pentagon's transparency about casualties.
Why now: The quiet revision of casualty figures during an ongoing conflict is fueling accusations of a lack of transparency and cover-up by the Pentagon.
