According to the paper, the Pentagon did not disclose Iran\u2019s earlier strikes or the dozens of injuries they caused.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>U.S. Central Command, in statements last week, said the U.S. was retaliating for Iranian strikes on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Central Command did not mention Iran\u2019s strikes in Jordan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell disputed the Times\u2019 report in a four-paragraph statement in which he made personal attacks on journalists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Department of War rejects these baseless and malicious accusations of hiding injury numbers as outright lies from partisan hacks at the New York Times who are desperate to smear America\u2019s military and its leadership,\u201d Parnell, 45, wrote on X. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cClaims of concealment are fabrications meant to further distress the American people in the wake of three service members killed in action. Disgusting behavior, even for the New York Times. In fact, U.S. military casualty information is publicly available and regularly updated online on the Defense Casualty Analysis System for everyone, including the media, to review,\u201d Parnell continued. <\/p>\n<p>A third U.S. service member died Saturday in northern Iraq from an Iranian drone. The total of U.S. fatalities from Trump\u2019s war now stands at 17.<\/p>\n<p>The Defense Casualty Analysis System that Parnell mentioned, the Times reports, \u201cdoes not include information on specific mass-casualty attacks of the sort that have occurred in Jordan over the last week.\u201d As of publication, it has not been updated with last week\u2019s deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Parnell also said that injuries could mean anything from sprained ankles to \u201cincidents entirely unrelated to combat operations.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCherry-picking raw numbers without context paints a deliberately misleading and incomplete picture,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur troops execute the President\u2019s directives with excellence, supported by superior training, equipment, and medical care that prioritizes safety,\u201d he concluded, claiming in that the Pentagon is \u201cthe most transparent\u201d ever. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3908\">ICE Attacker Revealed to Be a Military Veteran<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe challenge the so-called journalists who wrote these lies, one of whom was recently subpoenaed regarding an alleged violation of federal criminal law, to stop the smears against the finest warfighting force on Earth,\u201d wrote Parnell, a failed House and Senate candidate whose latter campaign unraveled after allegations\u2014which he denies\u2014of abusing his wife and children.<\/p>\n<p>Parnell appeared to be referring to the paper\u2019s reporting on the new Air Force One and how it wasn\u2019t fully equipped to be transporting the president, which Donald Trump has admitted. The Justice Department has gone to the courts to try to gain access to certain journalists\u2019 sources.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Parnell\u2019s rebuttal, the Times issued a statement standing by its reporting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re confident in our reporting\u2019s accuracy, which found that the Pentagon did not disclose several Iranian strikes against U.S. forces, nor the resulting casualties and damage,\u201d a spokesperson said. \u201cOur reporting is based on information from several U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters. This is important accountability journalism that helps Americans understand how their government is operating.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>When reached for comment, the Pentagon referred the Daily Beast to Parnell\u2019s initial statement as well as a follow-up about troops\u2019 injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile nearly 100 service members were deemed to have some degree of injury since July 7, 2026, 96% have returned duty. They are determined to get back in the fight,\u201d he wrote on X. \u201cThe vast majority of injuries experienced were minor concussions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also on Monday, acting Pentagon Press Secretary Joel Valdez denied that injury data was being \u201cintentionally withheld from the public,\u201d and said that the DCAS was \u201ccurrently being updated with new information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NYT also never gave us a chance to respond to this false allegation before publication, and they apologized to us this morning for it,\u201d Valdez also claimed. <\/p>\n<p>When reached for comment about that allegation, a Times spokesperson said in a statement: \u201cOur article included a comment from Central Command at publication and has been updated to include comments from the Pentagon spokesperson as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Defense Casualty Analysis System, 427 troops have been injured in the war, which Trump initially said would only last a couple of weeks.
