The Defense Department has identified a fifth Army Reserve soldier killed when an Iranian drone struck a U.S. facility at the Port of Shuaiba, Kuwait on March 1. Officials also released the name of a sixth soldier who is “believed” to have been killed in the attack, but for whom official identification was still pending.
Officials initially said six soldiers were killed in the March 2 attack but identified only four in the days after, withholding the names of the final two because they were listed as “unaccounted for” in the immediate aftermath of the attack.

On Nov. 4, 1979, Iranians scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy in Tehran and ignited one of the most consequential diplomatic crises in modern history. What followed was 444 days of captivity for 52 American hostages, a failed military rescue mission in the Iranian desert, a daring CIA exfiltration disguised as a Hollywood production, and a political reckoning that reshaped the U.S. presidency and the architecture of American special operations forces.

UPDATE: CENTCOM denies this report…
According to various reports on X, a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle reportedly crashed early Wednesday during a strike mission over southwestern Iran, possibly due to Iranian air defenses.
Both crew members reportedly ejected safely, and a U.S.–Israeli combat search and rescue (CSAR) team reportedly entered Iran about an hour later and recovered them.
However, U.S. officials speaking to The Washington Post rejected the claim.
Official confirmation from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) remains pending.
