Sep 16, 2026 •World News

CBS aired images showing damage to U.S. military installations in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait following Iranian strikes. Anonymous American soldiers provided these photos for publication. The pictures reveal wrecked buildings, damaged vehicles, and destroyed aircraft infrastructure. One soldier admitted that this was serious damage that the public had never learned about before. A Boeing E-3 Sentry sits broken on an airfield in Saudi Arabia with its tail section torn away. Other shots show barracks reduced to rubble. Significant destruction also appears at Buehring Camp in Kuwait. This site serves as a hub for U.S. ground troops, armored units, and aviation assets. A photographer captured a charred vehicle amidst shattered structures and piles of debris there. The Congressional Budget Office released a report detailing the cost of Operation Epic Wrath against Iran earlier this year. Spending reached $33.4 billion over the first four months, according to their figures. Ammunition alone consumed $22.3 billion of that total sum. Other operational expenses reached $7.4 billion, while military equipment losses totaled $3.7 billion. Repair costs for damaged infrastructure were not included in this specific calculation. The Pentagon previously revealed casualty numbers for U.S. personnel since the operation against Iran began.
