Senator Baldwin urges Pentagon to make Iranian attack report public

Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin sent a letter to the commander of U.S. Central Command requesting the immediate public release of a more than 350-page report on the Iranian missile and drone attack that struck a U.S. command post in Kuwait on March 1, killing six service members and wounding many others. The Pentagon finished a month-long review in July and briefed families, but officials did not attribute responsibility or highlight decision-making errors.

Former soldiers say the investigation should examine the actions of the Iowa-based 103rd Sustainment Command, which ordered the deployment despite concerns about the location’s vulnerability. Witnesses described the site as unfortified and claim intelligence warned of Iranian targeting before the February move to the Port of Shuaiba position. Additional complaints focus on delayed medical supplies and inadequate defense measures, which the Defense Department has previously denied. A Defense Department spokesperson declined to comment on the timing of the report’s release.
