Pentagon raises official toll of troops who died during war with Iran to 21
The Pentagon acknowledged late Friday that the number of troops who have died in the Middle East during its operations against Iran is higher than previously reported, and updated the official count to include two more noncombat deaths. The Washington Post exclusively reported last month, based on information from six U.S. officials, that the numbers of service members lost was greater than what the Pentagon was reporting in its official, public database, known as the Defense Casualty Analysis System, or DCAS. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the time called that reporting a complete lie in a social media post. However, late Friday, the Pentagon raised the figure publicly reported in DCAS to include additional deaths. As of Friday, the total troop deaths the administration is connecting to operations against Iran and officially reporting in DCAS stands at 21. That figure includes two additional noncombat deaths: Maj. Sorffly Davius, 46, an Army National Guard member who died in Kuwait on March 6, and an unidentified Navy suicide that occurred in September, according to a U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide additional context on the troop deaths. In addition, 865 service members have been wounded, according to updated data in DCAS. The military also acknowledged one additional soldier's training accident death that it said was not tied to ongoing operations against Iran. Sgt. Devin A. Seibel, 26, died during a training accident in Iraq in May. His death is now recorded in DCAS under Operation Inherent Resolve, the military's decade-long named operation against the Islamic State. That service member's death brings the total number of troops who have died in the Middle East since Feb. 28, the date that operations against Iran began, to 22. On Friday, two of the top Democratic members of the House Armed Services Committee said they were glad the Pentagon had made a public correction to the overall losses in the war. There is no excuse for a mistake of this magnitude, the committee's top Democrat, Rep. Adam Smith (Washington) and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (Pennsylvania), the top Democrat on the military personnel subcommittee, said in a statement, calling the fact that Congress had to get involved to have the Pentagon correct its numbers an embarrassment for the military. In a statement to The Post, the Pentagon did not acknowledge the changed numbers but instead said it is making further revisions to how DCAS reports casualties, including a new category of pending adjudication as it works through casualty reporting. The new adjudication category was first reported by Defense Scoop. The Pentagon continues to maintain a steadfast commitment to the transparent, accurate accounting of all Service member casualties, it said in a statement. It has been difficult for the public and lawmakers overseeing the Pentagon to get a clear picture of how many troops have been injured or killed during the conflict in part because the Trump administration changed mid-conflict the way it was publicly accounting for troop deaths, something critics have charged is a way for President Donald Trump to hide the true cost to military personnel. In previous conflicts those injuries or deaths - whether caused by hostile action or nonhostile causes, such as accidents or suicides - have been captured by named conflict in DCAS. In part, what has confounded DCAS data in this conflict is that earlier this year Trump declared that Operation Epic Fury had ended, even though the U.S. and Iran were still exchanging fire. In response the Pentagon created a new category of injured and killed that was not tied to Epic Fury, instead those numbers would be tallied under overseas contingency operations.

Army officials caught off guard by Hegseth's plan to livestream execution
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth looks on as President Donald Trump speaks to the news media, on the South Lawn of the White House on October 6. - Finn Gomez/Getty Images Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseths announcement that the execution of the convicted Fort Hood mass shooter would be shown in public caught people across the Pentagon and the Army off guard, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Hegseth made the announcement in an interview Wednesday with far-right podcaster Jack Posobiec aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, where he welcomed the crew home from their monthslong deployment to the Middle East. Well make sure that people are able to watch it, that its public, because people need to understand that theres serious consequences for these types of things, Hegseth said during the interview. That comment was the first time many in the Army and Pentagon heard about the idea of a firing squads execution of Nidal Hasan in Texas being made public, and there were immediately questions about what public would mean. There are Army regulations about who can watch a military execution, including family of the prisoner and of the victims, media representatives and a chaplain. But it was decided by Hegseth, acting Army Secretary Adam Telle, and Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell and his staff that public would mean it would be livestreamed, one source familiar said. The Pentagon then confirmed as much to the media, saying in a statement, The Secretary is correct. It will be livestreamed. Details will follow. The Army referred questions to the Pentagon, and a Pentagon spokesperson said they had nothing to add beyond Thursdays confirmation that it would be livestreamed. The idea has shocked many service members and veterans and provoked a bipartisan backlash . Vice President JD Vance cast doubt on Friday that the livestream could ultimately go forward, saying he didnt know if thats actually going to happen, but said if it was, Im not going to be watching it. It takes away everything America stands for when we do public executions, one Army officer with multiple deployments to the Middle East told CNN. The generational harm caused by allowing troops in uniform to stand in front of a man in a wheelchair and watch him get shot to death is irreparable. Trump says he hasnt decided on livestream President Donald Trump welcomed the idea of a firing squad execution throughout the week but on Saturday said he hasnt decided whether to livestream it. Were giving a man the death penalty who killed 14 soldiers a couple of years ago. Death penalty through firing squad and he deserves it, the president said to applause during a White House event Friday honoring Christopher Columbus. Trump told reporters Saturday, Ill make a decision, ultimately. I know what the military would like to do, but well make a decision. Many of the details around the livestream have yet to be finalized, and multiple sources told CNN that officials have been working to find answers since it was announced. A second source familiar told CNN that great care is being taken to determine which soldiers would fire on Hasan, taking into consideration the potential psychological impacts of doing so. A specific unit has been selected to carry out the execution, the source said. Showing the execution on a livestream presents more challenges, the source said, including any effort to obscure from the public the identities of the soldiers involved. Its also unclear where and if the execution will be streamed beyond the Pentagons own website. Broadcasters and social media platforms have strict restrictions on violent and disturbing content. The first source familiar said there are still questions about whether soldiers can decline to participate, given that the military is moving forward with this as a legal order. The second source familiar echoed the same, saying while many soldiers may have taken a life in combat, this is a very different situation. This is a situation where the guy has done a very bad thing and hurt a lot of people, years removed, the second source said. Hes going to be immobile and put up like a target.

Trump says US 'may' join Saudi strikes on Houthis
President Donald Trump stated that he is evaluating potential US participation in Saudi strikes on Houthis. The evaluation comes after the latest missile attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which left several people injured. The airport has faced repeated assaults since the Saudi-led coalition launched its military operations against Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen. Recent attacks have resulted in casualties among Saudi citizens, including a pilot.

Several wounded after explosion rocks Riyadh airport and halts flights
By Timour Azhari and Enas Alashray RIYADH, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Several people were wounded in an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh on Saturday that forced a suspension of operations, the country's civil aviationauthority said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but it comes amid an escalation of missile strikes by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis against Saudi Arabia. The airport had already been struck in two earlier attacks this week that left four people dead and exposed vulnerabilities in the kingdom's ability to defend itself as it wages war on the Houthis.Saudi Arabia's early warning system did not issue an alert ahead of Saturday's incident. The Saudi government's media office did not immediately respond to questions from Reuters. One eyewitness at the airport on Saturday reported seeing an explosion and then multiple people lying injured on the ground inside. More than a dozen ambulances were seen rushing towards the facility. An injuredtraveller told Reuters they saw something fly across the sky outside the airport before part of the ceiling near a departure gate collapsed. US TO LOOK AT JOINING SAUDI FIGHT AGAINST HOUTHIS: TRUMP Following the attack, US President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters outside the White House, was asked whether the United States planned to join Saudi strikes on the Houthis. We may. We're going to look at it. We just found out about the recent attack, so we'll make a decision. We move very quickly, he said. The US embassy in Riyadh said it was aware of attacks and strongly recommends all US citizens avoid this airport and surrounding areas. The UK and Irish embassies in Saudi Arabia said in statements on X that they were also aware of a serious incident at the airport. The Canadian embassy said that ongoing military activity had impacted operations at the airport. RIYADH DUE TO HOLD MAJOR SUMMITS Flight-tracking site flightradar24 showed all flights to Riyadh had either been diverted or cancelled, with only a helicopter hovering over the airport at one point. Kuwait Airways said it had cancelled flights to and from the Saudi capital due to what it described as the closure of Riyadh airport because of the security situation there. Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways earlier cancelled multiple flights between their respective hubs and Riyadh, with some cancellations extending into Monday. Houthi attacks on Thursday and earlier in the week had already prompted a number of carriers to suspend or cancel services to the Saudi capital, shortly before Riyadh is due to host major energy and investment conferences. Organisers of those conferences said on Saturday they would go ahead as planned, and they sought to reassure attendees of their security. The Houthis have said airliners should avoid Saudi airspace, declaring it a zone of military operations after the Saudi-backed Yemeni government launched an offensive against the group earlier this month.

Loud blast at Riyadh airport as travelers evacuated and airlines cancel flights
By Timour Azhari and Enas Alashray RIYADH, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Many people were wounded in a blast at Riyadh's international airport on Saturday, according to two eyewitnesses and two people briefed on the matter, and travellers were evacuated from parts of the facility. One of the eyewitnesses reported seeing an explosion and then seeing multiple people lying injured on the ground inside the airport. More than a dozen ambulances were seen rushing to the airport. The Saudi government's media office and the Saudi civil aviation authority did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the incident. Saturday's incident comes amid an escalation of missile strikes by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis on the kingdom. The airport has already been attacked twice this week, leaving four people dead and others wounded, and badly damaging an aircraft. Flight-tracking site flightradar24 showed all flights to Riyadh had either been diverted or cancelled, with only a helicopter hovering over the airport at one point. The airport urged passengers to contact their airlines directly and check their flight status before heading there. Kuwait Airways said it had cancelled flights to and from the Saudi capital due to what it described as the closure of Riyadh airport because of the security situation there. Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways earlier cancelled multiple flights between their respective hubs and Riyadh, with some cancellations extending into Monday.
