The US administration and Department of War has just reduced the total number of American service members killed during the Iran war from 18 to 14.
Removing the four most recent deaths, which occurred in Jordan and in Iraq last week, appears to be politically-driven as a way to keep official casualties lower related to President Trump's decision to go to war. That's what's being widely alleged anyway.
