The Intercept reported on Tuesday that casualties sustained since July 7 are now documented on a distinct Department of War webpage labeled “Overseas Operations.” In the aftermath of Iranian counteractions responding to the 40-day conflict, the official death toll has now reached 704. The Intercept has highlighted discrepancies in the Department of War’s official casualty figures, with prior reports by the outlet uncovering known casualties that have been omitted. According to the department’s own reports, the number of casualties since July 7 has surged by 83 percent compared to the earlier figures. Initially, on July 21, the system recorded 500 casualties attributed to Iran’s reaction following the 40-day conflict.
