Injured Soldier Contradicts Hegseth Claims Iran Attack Was Single Squirter

What was said

"Painting a picture that one squeaked through was a falsehood. Everything shook and it's something like what you see in the movies. You know, everything your ears are ringing. You know, there's dust and smoke everywhere. Were these deaths preventable? In my opinion, absolutely. Yes."

An anonymous soldier who survived the Iranian drone attack on a U.S. position in Kuwait directly contradicted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's characterization of the incident as just one projectile slipping through defenses. The soldier described a devastating attack on a position with no fortifications despite intelligence showing it was a known target, killing six Americans and injuring dozens. The soldier stated his unit was ordered there without good articulated reason and believes the deaths were preventable.
