The Pentagon confirmed that since the military operations against Iran began on February 28, over 750 US military personnel have been injured, with 18 fatalities, according to the latest updates from the Department of Defense's casualty analysis system.

The latest statistics show that the number of injuries is approximately 756 to 757, with 18 deaths, and more than 50 new injured personnel added to the database recently. The Army accounts for the vast majority, with over 580, while the Navy has about 86, the Air Force about 64, and the Marine Corps about 19.

The casualties are categorized under "Operation Epic Fury" and "Overseas Operations," the latter covering records after July 7, corresponding to the recovery phase following the pause in operations. Some of the newly added figures may reflect a lag between medical system records and database updates.

The Pentagon has previously faced scrutiny over fluctuations in casualty numbers, with officials stating that most injuries are minor concussions, and a high percentage of personnel returned to duty in early updates. The conflict has approached six months, during which there have been ceasefire phases, but casualty statistics continue to accumulate.

The relevant data is released by the Department of Defense's public casualty system, which did not provide further public clarification on specific incident locations or injury detail classifications.

From a market mechanism perspective, such official casualty updates directly impact market expectations regarding the duration of the conflict and military spending, directing funds towards defense-related assets and safe-haven varieties; the events are driven by public data, benefiting defense and logistics companies with long-term contracts, while high-volatility risk assets are under pressure.
