Summary
The Pentagon updated its public casualty database late Friday to list 21 American service members killed during U.S. military operations against Iran, adding two noncombat deaths: Maj. Sorffly Davius and an unidentified Navy sailor. The change reflects the department now acknowledging troops who died or were wounded in support roles, not just combat deaths.
