PNN – The issue of U.S. casualties in Kuwait resulting from Iran’s response has turned into a new headache for the U.S. military.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; an Associated Press investigative report on the Iranian drone attack against U.S. forces at Kuwait’s Shuaiba Port has raised serious questions regarding threat assessment, command decisions, and the medical treatment of the wounded.
In this attack, which took place on March 1, 2026—one day after the start of the war by the US and the Israeli regime against Iran—six American soldiers were killed and dozens were wounded; according to the Associated Press, it was the deadliest attack on US forces during the war.

About 20 minutes after the “all-clear” was announced, an Iranian drone pierced the roof of the operations center and exploded. Following the attack, a number of the wounded also criticized the delay in receiving medical care, as well as bureaucratic hurdles in their treatment and transfer.
The U.S. military concluded its investigation into the attack in June, but the report has not yet been released. Both the military and the Pentagon have declined to comment on the details of the investigation, stating that the victims’ families must be informed of the official findings first. The families of the deceased are demanding transparency regarding the decision to relocate troops and potential accountability for the commanders involved.
