Pentagon quietly raises count of troops wounded in Iran hostilities

The Pentagon has quietly added dozens of American service members to its tally of troops wounded since hostilities with Iran began, including 29 sailors and eight Marines. Critics say the quiet revision points to censorship and dishonesty about the true human cost of the conflict, and the news is fueling suspicion about how openly the military reports casualties.
Why now: The revised casualty figures are being read as evidence of a lack of transparency from the Pentagon about the Iran conflict.
