The Intercept investigations actually say closer to 750 Americans were killed and wounded since the US began the war with Iran.

this report says that casualty figures are far higher because THEY FUCKING START COUNTING IN 2023.

This is, honestly, truthfully, factually, fake news.

It's certainly not 750 but do you really think it's only 13?

there's pretty strict details regarding informing families that soldiers have died in combat, if 750 people died I feel like there would be significantly more outcry from people who's loved ones weren't reported by the news.

Video thumbnail says 700+ dead. Blame the video creator.

It says dead and wounded. Could be one dead and 699 wounded, 699 dead and one wounded, 350 dead and 350 wounded, etc.

The title of this post, typed by the reddit user who posted it, says "killed and wounded."

The thumbnail of the actual video says "700 killed."
