"They hit us bad." Newly obtained footage, witness accounts detail Iran attack - and U.S. retreat - at major post in Kuwait

Key Points:

• New videos obtained by CBS News reveal Iranian attacks on Camp Buehring, a major U.S. military base in Kuwait, involving ballistic missiles, drones, and Iranian F-5 fighter jets during the early stages of the war with Iran seven months ago.
• The footage shows significant damage to buildings and equipment, highlighting the severe strain on American forces, who faced ammunition shortages and were eventually forced to abandon the base.
• Despite most troops being relocated under the Pentagon’s "get off the X" strategy, over 100 soldiers remained at Camp Buehring, fearing the base was ill-prepared for continued attacks and mass casualties.
• No fatalities from enemy fire occurred at Camp Buehring or subsequent forward operating bases, but several soldiers were injured by lightning strikes during desert sandstorms, underscoring the harsh conditions faced.
• The Defense Department reported equipment losses worth up to $3.7 billion, including nearly 60 aircraft, with Iranian strikes targeting multiple U.S. bases across the Middle East, though visual evidence of these attacks has been scarce.
