Footage Reveals Iranian Attacks on Camp Buehring in Kuwait

Newly released footage and witness accounts detail Iranian attacks on Camp Buehring, a major U.S. military base in Kuwait, during the early stages of a conflict that began seven months ago. The assaults utilized ballistic missiles, drones, and F-5 fighter jets, resulting in significant damage to equipment and buildings.

Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, had previously implemented a "get off the X" strategy to move over 90% of American troops away from vulnerable bases to reduce their exposure to Iranian fire. Despite this, more than 100 soldiers remained at Camp Buehring during the strikes. These service members reported critical shortages of .50-caliber ammunition and a lack of reinforcements, which eventually forced them to abandon the installation and relocate to forward operating bases in the Udari Desert.

While several soldiers were injured, no U.S. service members were killed by enemy fire at the site. The broader conflict has resulted in substantial material costs; a Department of Defense inspector general report recently detailed $3.7 billion in equipment losses, including nearly 60 aircraft.
