The Pentagon reduced the number of US troops killed from 18 to 14 on its website this week, according to a report. The New York Times, citing three military officials, said the change happened because the Trump administration decided to remove four troops whose deaths occurred after the president declared a ceasefire with Iran in April. The acting press secretary for the Pentagon, Joel Valdez, said the reduction was due to “temporary data disruptions” on the website. The discrepancy has not been fully explained. The report highlights the ongoing debate over the accuracy of official casualty figures, especially in relation to the ceasefire agreement. No further details were provided about the specific troops or circumstances.
