Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman says public learned information just hours after the defence secretary.
US President Donald Trump, Defence Secretary Mark Esper and others throughout the US government for a week had said that Iran’s attack on bases in Iraq, in retaliation for the killing of a Iranian general, had not killed or injured any US service members. “This idea that there was an effort to de-emphasise injuries for some sort of amorphous political agenda doesn’t hold water,” Hoffman said.
US military has to immediately report incidents threatening life, limb or eyesight. But suspected brain injury, which can take time to manifest and diagnose, does not have that urgent requirement.
