The damage inflicted by Iran on US military bases in the Persian Gulf region, including from a successful attack on a US base by an Iranian fighter jet, is far worse than publicly acknowledged by the White House, NBC News reported on 26 April.

[…]

Most notably, an Iranian F-5 fighter jet successfully evaded layered US air defenses to bomb the US base Camp Buehring in Kuwait during the early days of the US-Israeli war on Iran, the NBC report stated.

The successful strike directly undermined US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the Iranian Air Force had been “completely obliterated.”

[…]

The last incident of an enemy warplane successfully hitting a major US military base reportedly occurred in 1953, during the Korean War. North Korea’s air force carried out a low-altitude night raid in April of that year that killed two US soldiers on Cho-do Island. For more than 70 years following that incident, the US maintained near-total air superiority over its military bases.
