According to CBS, citing three U.S. military officials with knowledge on the matter, the makeshift tactical operations center at Shuaiba port in Kuwait, where six U.S. servicemembers lost their lives in an Iranian drone strike, lacked adequate force protection measures and more were requested but never came.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump is open to supporting groups in Iran willing to take up arms to dislodge the Islamic Regime, including Kurdish factions in Northwestern Iran, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal, an idea that could turn Iranian factions into ground forces at least rhetorically backed by Washington.

Officials said Trump hasnโ€™t made a final decision on the matter, including whether he would provide arms, training or intelligence support to anti-regime groups, though the President has urged the Iranian people to rise up several times, telling those in Iran to โ€œtake over your government,โ€ adding โ€œAmerica is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.โ€
