**As the US continues to cover up casualties in it’s war of choice against Iran**

##### [Azerinews](https://www.azernews.az/region/264605.html)

> **Eight US Marines were injured two weeks ago when an Iranian cruise missile struck a maritime vessel operating in the Strait of Hormuz,** NBC News reported, citing three US officials.
> 
> **The previously undisclosed attack took place on Sept. 14** while the Marines were operating as part of a battalion landing team, according to the report.
> 
> **The eight service members, including seven enlisted Marines and one officer, suffered smoke inhalation and potential traumatic brain injuries. They also experienced concussion-related symptoms, including headaches.**
> 
> According to the US officials cited by NBC News, none of the injuries were considered severe, and all eight Marines returned to duty shortly after the strike.
> 
> **The Marines were operating as part of a battalion landing team when the Iranian missile struck the vessel, they said.**
> 
> **The Pentagon has faced growing scrutiny over casualty figures since the US-Israel war with Iran began in February, with the number of injured and killed troops subject to changes in reporting and classification.**
> 
> **As of Wednesday, the Pentagon’s Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) had recorded 861 US service members as injured in the conflict.**
> 
> **The eight Marines were added to the database nearly 10 days after the Sept. 14 attack, while a US official attributed delays in reporting to symptoms that may appear later and the system’s lack of real-time updates.**
