[Media Exposes US Casualty Cover-Up in the Middle East: The Real Numbers Are Far Higher Than Officially Announced] (1) A detailed media investigation revealed that the actual casualties caused by the US military deployment in the Middle East are far higher than the figures publicly acknowledged by the Pentagon—nearly 750 US soldiers have been killed or wounded since October 2023. (2) The US Central Command is accused of releasing outdated and incomplete casualty data and refusing to clarify basic information such as the number of US personnel killed or wounded and the scale of attacks on facilities. A defense official called this "casualty cover-up." (3) The report pointed out that at least 15 US soldiers were injured in the Iranian attack on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia last Friday alone; overall, hundreds of US soldiers have been killed or wounded in the month since the start of the war against Iran, but the data released by the Central Command is significantly lower. An anonymous defense official revealed: "It is clear that this is a topic that US Defense Secretary Hegsays and the White House are trying hard to cover up."
