The four deceased soldiers' names now appear on Overseas Operations, which says it measures "casualties starting July 7th 2026". It included the names of the four Army soldiers who died recently and counted 207 for those wounded. The name changes appeared to reflect the four US soldiers who died in July, after the interim deal signed by Trump last month began to break down, and after the president had declared the ceasefire with Iran was "over".
