The Pentagon and the White House is playing a funny game: split the casualty counts between pre-July "Operation Epic Fury" and post-"ceasefire". Say it's not a war. It's not working, as the casualties since July are almost as much as "Epic Fury" with dozens in the last week alone. Trying to keep the when, where, and how is already backfiring. I did a quick write-up on the updated casualty counts on the Pentagon website here: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/updated-us-casualties-iran/
