U.S. military survivors of an Iranian drone attack in Kuwait have accused Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of overstating how protected their unit was.
On March 1, six soldiers were killed and more than 20 wounded when an Iranian drone strike hit an operations center in the heart of a civilian port in Kuwait, miles away from the main Army base.
The Iranian attack was the deadliest suffered by the U.S. since the war began.
But one of the injured soldiers told CBS News that Hegseth's suggestion that the drone slipped through the defenses of a fortified position — an apparent "squirter" — was false.
They told the broadcaster the unit "was unprepared to provide any defense for itself. It was not a fortified position."
