The first US service members to die in the conflict between the US and Iran were killed by a direct Iranian strike on a makeshift operations center at a civilian port in Kuwait on Sunday morning local time, a source familiar with the situation told CNN.

The death toll from that event at the Shuaiba port has since risen to six, US Central Command announced on Monday afternoon, after the remains of two additional service members were recovered.

Earlier Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the strike that killed the service members hit a “tactical operation center that was fortified,” but there was “one” projectile that made it through air defenses. CNN previously reported the event was a suspected drone strike.

    Have we got an Epstein Fury Martyrs list yet?

    Their service serving interests of pedophiles and war criminals deserve recognition.

    Maybe so-called Christians support the president because now we all get to be a little bit like Jesus: We can all die for his sins.

    The Orange Perv is trying to escalate things, so that he will have an excuse to remove that inconvenient Constitution here in the states.

    Of course, if you’re fighting for your country and you get shot or hurt, it’s a terrible tragedy. Of course, of course. But maybe, maybe if you pick up a gun and go to another country and you get shot… it’s not that weird. Maybe, if you get shot by the dude you were just shooting at, it’s a tiny bit your fault

    Kind of like how the missiles sent into Iran would have been like, although at least the Iranians attacked US military buildings and not Iranian schools and hospitals like the zionists and their lackeys seem to have done.

        Non native English speakers really struggle with at, on, and in. Don’t feel bad for being confused it’s super, super common, and most non native speakers will struggle with this no matter how fluent they become.

        For general example, if somebody is sitting inside an airplane, you can say they’re on the plane, or they’re in the plane. You could also say they’re at the plane, but that’s really only used in certain contexts.

        In the context you’re asking about, “at the port” at and in are synonymous, essentially. The article isn’t specific enough so it’s reasonable to assume that somewhere within the port’s boundary area, fence line perhaps, there was a temporary facility that was bombed.

        Since they used the term “at” though, it COULD mean that it was directly outside the port boundaries. Like right outside the fence, perhaps.

        Sorry. Not sure if any of this helps.

    I wonder if this will inspire American soldiers to stop following illegal orders. ?

    Probably not

    How fuckìng dare they, amirite? Bombing those poor souls without a warning and even killing them… They are savages!

    Unlike us, who bomb a school and kill some brown kids who were clearly doing terrorist thingies and were a threat because reasons. That was absolutely justified and normal… right?

    So iran strikes active targets in a warzone during a war and the super duper advanced US forces managed to bomb two schools in the first salvo. Brilliant. Who are the bad guys again?

      It’s very obvious that the US is the aggressor even if Iran isn’t a nice country, they were literally bending over backwards to meet our demands and it literally meant nothing. It’s infuriating
