US media reports suggest that the Pentagon has undercounted the real number of casualties among its troops during the war with Iran.

The Pentagon inspector general has officially confirmed that a US F-35 was damaged by Iran's fire during a combat mission over the country, months after US officials described the incident only as an emergency landing.

Iran’s sustained attacks on US bases and warships across West Asia are pushing the US military to the brink of a “breakdown,” US officials warn.

US imperialism dehumanizes "others" to justify recurring and horrendous war crimes – wedding strikes, school bombings, sexual exploitation and other forms of aggression – while accountability rarely follows, revealing a doctrine inherited from empire.

Political analyst Ali Qwabena says the Pentagon has launched the polygraph tests as US officials are looking for someone to blame over the leaks.

The Pentagon reportedly subjects roughly 50 members of the US military’s Joint Staff to polygraph tests as part of an unprecedented investigation into leaks to journalists, including reports about dwindling US munitions stocks during the war on Iran, according to officials briefed on the investigation.

The US military disables ad trackers on its troops' phones and computers amid fears of Iran retaliation, reports say.
