Six American soldiers dead. Dozens more wounded. And now, the survivors are speaking out—directly contradicting what the Pentagon told the public about what happened that day in Kuwait.
On March 1st, 2026, an Iranian drone slammed into a U.S. military facility at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait. It was one of the first American casualties in the direct conflict with Iran. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the drone a “squirter”—military slang for a single threat that slips through an otherwise solid defense. He described the site as a “fortified tactical operations center.” But soldiers who were actually there? They’re telling a very different story.
