The Pentagon updated its war casualty database Saturday, recording more than 140 additionally wounded and restoring the four soldiers killed due to Iranian strikes last week amid questions about a lack of transparency over the war’s toll.

The Pentagon drew scrutiny from media outlets and lawmakers last week when killed and wounded numbers decreased in the Defense Casualty Analysis System, or DCAS, as Iranian attacks continued. CNN observed fluctuating casualty totals when monitoring the site on a minute-by-minute basis last week. The system now has a new tracking category for killed and wounded since July 7, when President Donald Trump claimed a new conflict with Iran began in a War Powers notification the administration sent to Congress earlier this month
