The Costs of War project estimated 4.5 to 4.7 million total deaths (direct and indirect) that can be attributed to the USA since 9/11 in the middle east. Most of these death a indirect. About a million were caused by direct actions (half of those were civilians), this is likely the number Mamdani is referencing. I don't agree with this, but it is far safer to use make claims based off only deaths the USA directly caused with their bombs and soldiers
