Story summary

On March 1, Iran carried out its deadliest drone strike against American troops stationed at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait, killing six soldiers and wounding several others. The wounded soldiers are now raising concerns about whether their injuries were due to a lack of proper military preparedness, as well as issues within the military medical system that failed them after the attack. This incident took place during an ongoing war involving at least eight countries affected by Iranian attacks, causing damage or destruction worth billions in U.S. military property. CBS News has released exclusive footage showing the drone strike on a U.S. base in Kuwait, highlighting the escalating tensions and consequences of this conflict.
