In a series of exclusive videos obtained by CBS News, Iranian attacks on the U.S. military base Camp Buehring in Kuwait are revealed, marking the onset of the war with Iran seven months ago. The footage shows ballistic missiles, drones, and Iranian F-5 fighter jets targeting the base, causing significant damage to buildings and military equipment. As the attacks unfolded, American forces faced ammunition shortages, and some soldiers were relocated to the Udari Desert, where two were injured by lightning. The Pentagon’s strategy, known as “get off the X,” involved moving most troops away from vulnerable positions, leaving over 100 soldiers at Camp Buehring. Despite these measures, the base remained under threat from Iranian forces, with missiles and drones forcing soldiers into bunkers. The videos were authenticated by CBS News, highlighting the challenges faced by U.S. forces during the early days of the conflict.
