Senator pushes DoD to release probe of Iranian attack that killed 6 U.S. troops
A CBS News investigation found troops had flagged military leaders about the lack of defenses and insufficient medical supplies ahead of the attack in Kuwait at the beginning of the war with Iran.
Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin has urged the Pentagon to release a 350-page report detailing an investigation into the deadliest attack on U.S. troops during the Iran War. Six American servicemen were killed and dozens more injured when an Iranian strike targeted a U.S. command post in Kuwait on March 1, 2023. This came as part of a series of attacks on U.S.-allied countries in the Persian Gulf region following Operation Epic Fury, an operation carried out by the U.S. and Israel.
The Pentagon completed the investigation in July, but has thus far refused to disclose its findings. Baldwin has written to the head of U.S. Central Command demanding the report and any additional classified information related to the attack be made public.
