数周以来,五角大楼一直拒绝公开美军针对伊朗战争期间针对美军造成最惨重伤亡的袭击展开的调查结果。如今,一位关键的参议院民主党人呼吁军方领导人公布这份长达350多页的调查最终报告。

“我现要求你们立即公开公布此次调查的结果,并向国会提供完整调查报告、所有相关文件材料,以及针对此次袭击的任何额外机密审查结果,”威斯康星州民主党参议员塔米·鲍德温在一封被哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取的信件中,写给美国中央司令部负责人。

3月1日,美军位于科威特的一处指挥所遭遇袭击,造成6名美国人死亡,另有数十人受伤。在美国和以色列发起“史诗之怒行动”后,伊朗针对波斯湾地区多个美国盟友发动了密集的导弹和无人机袭击,该指挥所便是袭击目标之一。

7月,五角大楼完成了针对该事件的历时数月的调查,并由陆军领导人向阵亡士兵家属通报了调查结果。知情人士透露,军方官员介绍了调查结论,但未追究责任,也未评论任何决策失误。

多名士兵向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,他们希望调查能对爱荷华州第103维持司令部的指挥官们进行履职评估,这些士兵指责指挥官下令让部队在“史诗之怒行动”数周前就部署到科威特的指挥所,而当时许多士兵都认为该位置早已存在安全隐患。

美国国防部发言人未回应五角大楼何时打算公布这份报告的置评请求。

早在陆军调查启动之前,哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一项调查就开始揭露多名袭击幸存者所称的袭击前、袭击期间和袭击后存在的“战略失误”。

在致命袭击发生后的次日,美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟将伊朗无人机描述为“漏网之鱼”,暗示该无人机成功突破了科威特境内一支设防部队的防御系统。

4月,一名受伤士兵告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,“将此事描述为‘一架无人机侥幸突破’是谎言。”该士兵表示,该部队“毫无自卫能力,并非设防阵地”。

其他袭击目击者称,早在该部队2月迁至舒艾巴港阵地之前,就有多份与部队防护相关的预警信息。士兵们后来告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,军方领导人曾掌握情报显示伊朗正瞄准他们在科威特的阵地。这些报道引发了参议院民主党人的调查。

受伤士兵还向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,军方领导人在袭击前无视了他们追加医疗物资的请求,并指责五角大楼在事后淡化了他们的伤情。美国国防部此前否认了这些指控。

在鲍德温参议员的信中,她要求中央司令部“解释为何美军医疗护理未能立即为士兵提供服务”。

Sen. Tammy Baldwin pushes Pentagon to release probe of Iranian attack that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait

For weeks, the Pentagon has refused to disclose the findings from the Army’s investigation into the deadliest attack against U.S. troops during the Iran War. Now, a key Senate Democrat is calling on military leaders to release the more than 350-page report stemming from the probe.

“I now request you immediately release the findings of that investigation publicly and provide Congress with a copy of the full investigation, all underlying documentation, and any additional classified review of the attack,” Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin wrote to the head of U.S. Central Command in a letter obtained by CBS News.

Six Americans were killed and dozens more were injured in the March 1 strike at a U.S. command post in Kuwait, one of several U.S.-allied countries in the Persian Gulf region that was targeted by intense Iranian missile and drone attacks after the U.S. and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury.

In July, the Pentagon completed a monthslong review of the incident, and Army leaders briefed families of the fallen soldiers on their findings. Sources familiar with the briefing said military officials described the probe’s findings, but did not assign blame or comment on any decision-making mistakes.

Several soldiers told CBS News they hoped the investigation would include a performance review of the commanders of the Iowa-based 103rd Sustainment Command, whom they blamed for ordering the troops to deploy to the Kuwait command post weeks before Operation Epic Fury, despite what many of the soldiers believed were known concerns.

A Defense Department spokesperson did not respond to a request about when the Pentagon intended to release the report.

Even before the Army’s probe was underway, a CBS News investigation began shedding light on what several survivors of the attack described as “strategic failures” ahead of, during and after the strike.

One day after the deadly strike, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the Iranian drone as a “squirter” — suggesting that the drone had managed to slip past the defenses of a fortified unit inside Kuwait.

In April, one of the injured soldiers told CBS News that “painting a picture that ‘one squeaked through’ is a falsehood.” The soldier said the unit was “unprepared to provide any defense for itself. It was not a fortified position.”

Other witnesses to the attack said there were multiple warnings related to force protection ahead of the unit’s February move to the Port of Shuaiba position. Soldiers later told CBS News that military leaders had seen intelligence showing Iran was targeting their position in Kuwait. Those reports sparked an investigation from Senate Democrats.

Wounded soldiers also told CBS News that military leaders ignored requests for additional medical supplies ahead of the attack, and they accused the Pentagon of downplaying their injuries in the aftermath. The Defense Department previously denied those claims.

In her letter, Sen. Baldwin requested that CENTCOM provide “an explanation on why U.S. military medical care was not immediately available to soldiers.”
