Jfc, that’s a lot of casualties considering they haven’t even stepped foot on Iranian soil.

Same vibes as losing ships to a country with no navy.

I said months ago they were hiding the true casualties and people said I was being ridiculous that they couldn't possibly hide the real numbers.

But Iran was reporting a lot more u.s casualties. And at this point I believe their number was likely more accurate.
