Representative says Congress lacks full picture of US injuries and equipment losses

What was said

"We don't. Look, we don't because the Pentagon has not been transparent about that. You know, I get reports from people who, they know a service member at a base in Jordan or Iraq or somewhere, say, yeah, we heard there was an attack. There's 20 or 30 people wounded. Pentagon doesn't say anything about it."

In a clip aired by MeidasTouch, a lawmaker identified only as “Representative Smith” says Congress does not know the full extent of US injuries or equipment losses in the Iran conflict, blaming a lack of Pentagon transparency. He says he is hearing second-hand reports of attacks and dozens wounded at bases in the region, but that public reporting has been limited.
