Trump Covering Up Number of War Dead, Bombshell Leak Reveals

More U.S. service members have died in the Middle East during President Donald Trump’s war with Iran than the administration has disclosed publicly, a bombshell new report has revealed.

Six Defense Department insiders familiar with the agency’s internal casualty accounting data told The Washington Post that there have been at least 22 military fatalities—four more than the 18 reported by the Pentagon on its Defense Casualty Analysis System.

One official pegged the death toll at 23 since the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Iran in February. This source said not all undisclosed deaths were directly linked to the Middle East conflict but included U.S. personnel who were in the region amid the hostilities.
