(AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) Troops in Kuwait who survived the deadliest Iranian attack on U.S. forces since the war began told CBS News that the Pentagon wasn’t being truthful with its description of events. Six U.S. Army Reserve service members lost their lives when an Iranian drone struck a tactical operations center in Kuwait on March 1. Additionally, more than 20 soldiers were wounded. CBS News spoke to some of the survivors who detailed the attack that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed was the result of an anomalous “squirter” drone that just happened to get through the fortified unit inside Kuwait. One injured soldier told CBS News, “Painting a picture that ‘one squeaked through’ is a falsehood. I want people to know the unit…was unprepared to provide any defense for itself. It was not a fortified position.” The soldiers said they were moved to “a bunch of little tin buildings” in Kuwait where they set up “makeshift offices” before Operation Epic Fury got underway, while other soldiers were moved to safer locations in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The injured soldiers told CBS News, “they had questions about why they remained well within range of Iran’s missiles and drones,” at the base inside Kuwait. “One soldier said they saw intelligence showing the post was on a list of potential Iranian targets,” according to the report. “We moved closer to Iran, to a deeply unsafe area that was a known target,” one soldier said. “I don’t think there was a good reason ever articulated.” The CBS News report said, “In a post on X addressing prior CBS News reporting on the incident, Assistant Secretary of Defense Sean Parnell said “every possible measure has been taken to safeguard our troops — at every level” and that “[t]he secure facility was fortified with 6-foot walls.” But the soldiers told CBS News, “they were protected by little more than a thin layer of vertical standing blast barricades that did not provide cover from above.” “From a bunker standpoint, that’s about as weak as one gets,” the soldier said. When the Iranian drone detonated in the middle of the U.S. soldiers’ worksite, “It was chaos,” an injured soldier said. “There was no single line of patients to triage. You’re on one side of the fire or you’re on the other side of the fire.” The service members described the aftermath: “Head wounds, heavy bleeding, lots of… [TheTopNews] Read More.18 mins ago - Fox Business Reporter Climbs Nearly 2,000-Foot Broadcast Tower With FCC Boss ‘...
A Fox Business reporter said he was “definitely having an out-of-body experience” after climbing a nearly 2,000-foot broadcast tower with FCC Chair Brendan Carr on Thursday. Fox Business reporter Darren Botelho climbed the North Carolina tower with Carr in an exclusive report broadcast on Fox News on Thursday. “OK, you guys are crazy,” America’s Newsroom co-host Dana Perino remarked to Botelho before asking, “Why are you doing this?” “Because we’re crazy, you just answered that,” Botelho said. He added: “I think we’re both having an out-of-body experience right now.” For reference, Botelho explained that he and Carr were perched about as high as if the Empire State Building and the Washington Monument were stacked on top of each other. Carr said he’s climbed “20 or 30” towers across the country to celebrate America’s telecom workers. “President Trump loves America’s workers,” Carr said. “They feel the same way, and getting out here gives you a firsthand experience of what to do and most people think their phone and TV just works. They don’t think about it, but it’s thanks to crews like this we’re out here highlighting their work. It’s good stuff.” Heading up a 2,000 foot tower this morning with Jeremy and his crew.

MS NOW’s Ana Cabrera pressed Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) on the practicality of her push for yet another vote on President Donald Trump’s “war powers” on Thursday. Goodlander, a former Navy officer, joined Cabrera on Thursday morning and Cabrera wrapped up the interview by bringing up Goodlander’s call for lawmakers to “immediately” return to Washington, D.C. and vote on reining in the president’s war powers in regards to Iran. Cabrera reminded Goodlander that there have been six similar votes across both the Senate and the House and all of them have failed. Some of these “war powers” votes have been in reference to Iran, while others relate to the U.S. taking former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro out of his country and bringing him to the U.S. to face narco-terrorism charges. “You have called for lawmakers to return to Washington immediately to vote for another war powers resolution on Iran. We’ve already seen six failed attempts in recent weeks across both chambers, starting with Venezuela in addition to Iran. Again, six votes, none have passed. Why should Americans expect this time to be different?” Cabrera asked Goodlander. “The Speaker of the House has only allowed the House of Representatives to be in session and do the people’s work for 33 days in this entire calendar year. That should concern every American who believes that they deserve, which is what they do deserve under our Constitution, a Congress that’s going to do its job,” Goodlander said, adding that constituents are expressing concerns about the ongoing conflict, especially when it comes to gas prices rising. Cabrera reminded Goodlander the resolution is still likely to go nowhere without significant Republican support, but Goodlander remained optimistic, making a call for her Republican colleagues to listen more to voter complaints about the war.

We’ve already seen six failed attempts in recent weeks across both chambers, starting with Venezuela in addition to Iran. Again, six votes, none have passed. Why should Americans expect this time to be different? MAGGIE GOODLANDER: Well, we’re 40 days into this war. The Speaker of the House has only allowed the House of Representatives to be in session and do the people’s work for 33 days in this entire calendar year.

Grzegorz Wajda/AP Multiple players in the Saudi Pro League have accused referees of fixing games in an effort to help Cristiano Ronaldo’s team win a championship. The controversy stemmed from Wednesday’s match between Al Ahli and Al Fayha. Going into the match, Al Ahli trailed Al Nassr — Ronaldo’s club — by just a few points in the standings. Unfortunately for Al Ahli, the 1-1 draw against Al Fayha resulted in that gap extending. At the time of writing, Al Nassr maintained its lead in the league and was in position to win its first championship since Ronaldo joined. Multiple players from Al Ahli, however, took issue with the way Wednesday’s match was officiated. Striker Ivan Toney criticized the refs for not calling a handball against Al Fayha. When Toney complained, he claimed one of the refs told him to “focus on the AFC,” referring to the Asian Champions League. “How can the referee say this?” Toney said after the match. “We’re talking about now! He’s saying, ‘Focus on the AFC.'” Ivan Toney: “It’s clear, it’s clear as day, I don’t know what more you want him to do, pick the ball up with two hands, you gonna give penalty then or not ?” pic.twitter.com/IsV9zAIi9N — Al Nassr Zone (@TheNassrZone) April 8, 2026 Toney later took to Instagram to continue voicing his frustrations, adding that “it’s clear what’s being influenced.” JUST IN Al Ahli players Ivan Toney & Galeno have accused the Saudi Committee of trying to RIG the Saudi League title for Cristiano Ronaldo after the referee openly told them today to focus on another tournament as the league title is for Al Nassr.

In a tweet translated from Portuguese, he said: Hand over the trophy, that’s what they want, they want to knock us out of the championship by any means necessary, they want to hand the trophy to one person, a total lack of respect for our club.

Reacting to the news of Woods’s trial for allegedly driving under the influence, America’s Newsroom anchor Bill Hemmer reported, “Prosecutors want to get the prescription records for Tiger Woods. Here’s what they wrote. They said ‘to include the date and time prescription was filled, the type of prescription, the number of pills in his prescription, the dosage amount, all special instructions on how to take the medication, date of next refill, all warnings including but not limited to operating a motor vehicle.'” Hemmer then asked Gagliano, “Why would that be important? I guess there were two pills on the camera found in his pocket.” “Well remember, Bill, in this instance Tiger Woods refused to take any type of test, any type of roadway motorist test to determine how impaired he was,” Gagliano replied. “Standard DWI or DUI case like this, you’re going to want a toxicology report. You’re gonna wanna know impaired or under the influence the individual was. Now, we know he had not been drinking alcohol and this is related to pills in this instance, so yeah, this is the necessary next step in determining whether or not he’s going to be judged guilty of a crime, of driving under the influence.” After Hemmer questioned, “Is it the officer’s word against his? Is that how that’s shaping up?” Gagliano explained, “Well Bill, that’s the beauty now in the fact that the vast majority of police departments across the country outfit their officers with body-worn cameras.” “We all see this on the screen right now, so you can see and determine for yourself whether or not somebody appears to be impaired,” he continued as footage of Woods’s arrest played. “Now, that’s not enough to charge somebody. That is enough probable cause to bring them in for further testing, whether it’s your analysis or blood being drawn, but we have it on camera so that will be used at trial as well.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Ex-FBI Agent Tells Fox News Prosecution Will Use Body Cam Footage at Tiger Woods’s Trial first appeared on Mediaite.
