π¨ US WARPLANES DOWN NEAR IRAN-KUWAIT BORDER | Day 3 of US-Israel Campaign Against Iran
Kuwait has officially confirmed that multiple US warplanes β suspected F-15 Eagles β have crashed near its territory. Iran claims it shot down at least one US aircraft, targeting American bases and “hostile assets” in the Kuwait area, with Al-Salem Air Base specifically mentioned. Meanwhile, some sources point to friendly fire. Either way, Washington is losing $90M+ aircraft β and the Arab states who said “not from our soil” are watching this unfold in real time.
π What you need to know about Al-Salem Air Base:
Unlike Al Udeid in Qatar or the Naval base in Bahrain, Al-Salem is primarily a logistics and support hub β refuelling, resupply, force projection. Striking it doesn’t just make headlines, it degrades America’s ability to sustain operations across the region. And Kuwait shares a border with Iran. That matters.
π The bigger picture no one is talking about: When Arab states told Washington β our bases cannot be used to wage this war β the US ignored them. That’s not a detail. That’s a signal. Some alliances, it turns out, are more equal than others. The geopolitical fallout from this may outlast the conflict itself. We’re only on Day 3.
