Washington: (RightNow) The Pentagon has updated its database following objections over casualty details in the Iran-U.S. conflict. The Pentagon reports that the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iranian attacks has reached 18, with 624 injured.

The change in Pentagon figures has sparked discontent among U.S. lawmakers and media. Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee have demanded clarification from the Defense Secretary.

According to the Pentagon, a new category related to foreign operations has been added to the data. However, a complete explanation of this new category is yet to be provided.

It is important to note that under the U.S. Constitution’s War Powers Act, the President must seek Congress’s approval within 60 days. The administration faces criticism from both opposition and some government members on this issue.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has declared the War Powers Act unconstitutional. Following the Pentagon’s recent correction, a new debate has emerged among the American public and Senate regarding the war’s casualties and legal justification.
