New videos capture Iranian strikes on U.S. base in Kuwait
Exclusive videos shared with CBS News by a person stationed at a U.S. base in Kuwait show Iranian attacks in early March and the damage they caused. Jonah Kaplan reports.
Videos obtained by CBS News show Iranian drone strikes on a U.S. military base in northwest Kuwait. The footage depicts the attacks and their aftermath.
According to Hellenic Shipping News, Iran has increased its attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, with nearly 20 commercial ships coming under attack in the past month. The Joint Maritime Information Center, a group of U.S.-allied militaries, provides security updates to merchant vessels.
The security situation in Hormuz remains a concern, with oil flows depending on a major U.S. military commitment to protect tankers. A shuttle system has been implemented, where tankers transfer oil onto ships in the Gulf of Oman, reducing exposure to attack but requiring more vessels.
