US Positions Across the Middle East Have Been Severely Damaged by Iranian Missiles: Report
Exclusive CBS News photos show Iranian strikes severely damaged U.S. bases, including a Boeing aircraft, a destroyed car and buildings.
- On Wednesday, CBS News released photos documenting significant damage to multiple U.S. military installations across the Middle East, including Prince Sultan Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia, Camp Buehring in Kuwait, and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait.
