Veterans Hit Out at Pentagon Over Changes to Military Death Tally in Iran Conflict: 'So Disrespectful' The latest move by the Trump administration to manipulate casualty numbers in the Iran conflict has sparked outrage among veterans and critics who accuse the Pentagon of violating federal law.
The decision to split data about the war into two separate pages, effectively hiding four deaths from the main tally, is a stark reminder of the administration's penchant for secrecy.
The War Powers Act requires military operations to end within 60 days unless approved by Congress, but the administration's claim that it is waging an entirely new operation against Iran skates around this requirement.
