Pentagon raises official toll of troops who died during war with Iran to 21

The Pentagon updated the official death toll of American service members during operations against Iran to 21. This revision to the Defense Casualty Analysis System adds two noncombat deaths, specifically Maj. Sorffly Davius and an unidentified Navy sailor. The update follows reports that the number of lost personnel exceeded previous public database figures. The department's public tally now reflects these additional losses, ensuring the official record aligns with the actual number of troops who died during the war.
