一名在伊朗无人机致命袭击中幸存下来的美国陆军士兵向国会提交了吹哨人投诉，指控高级军方官员在与伊朗开战前无视预警，且未为反无人机防御做好适当规划。
该吹哨人是陆军少校斯蒂芬·拉姆博顿，他接受了《60分钟》节目诺拉·奥唐奈的独家采访，谈及了这份于周五提交给参众两院军事委员会的、且被CBS新闻获取的投诉。
他指控陆军领导层对美军驻科威特一处指挥工事薄弱的担忧置之不理，该指挥所在冲突爆发的头24小时内就遭伊朗无人机袭击，造成6名美军士兵死亡，这是这场战争中针对美军最致命的袭击。
投诉还指出，这个名为舒艾巴港的指挥所“没有医生、没有固定救护站，仅有一辆救护车”。
“我认为这是陆军、我们的领导层乃至我本人的战术失误，一直追溯到我所在的层级，”拉姆博顿少校告诉《60分钟》节目，“我们根本没有做好规划，这必须成为我们吸取的教训。”
拉姆博顿接受《60分钟》采访，是关于3月1日舒艾巴港指挥所袭击事件长达八个月调查的一部分。袭击事件发生次日，国防部长皮特·赫格塞思在新闻发布会上坚称，当地驻军防护充分。
“很不幸，偶尔会有‘漏网之鱼’突破防线，我们是这么称呼这种情况的，”赫格塞思表示，“而那次的情况是，它恰好击中了一座已设防的战术作战中心。但这些都是威力强大的武器。”
目击者证词，连同袭击后果的照片和视频，令人震惊地展现出，在美以两国启动“暴怒行动”次日，这座科威特港口设施的防御工事是何等薄弱。
康涅狄格州民主党参议员、参议院常设调查小组委员会资深成员理查德·布卢门塔尔在审查完吹哨人投诉后，向赫格塞思提出了一系列要求。
在一封日期为11月15日的信中，这位参议员呼吁赫格塞思参加一场机密情况汇报，并提供“舒艾巴港的所有武力防护评估”。民主党已暗示，明年掌控参众两院后，将调查政府处理对伊朗战争的方式。
“6名阵亡军人的家属、负伤的幸存者以及美国人民，都理应获得透明度和问责，”布卢门塔尔写道。
一名五角大楼发言人拒绝对拉姆博顿的指控发表评论，包括是否在舒艾巴港部署了足够的武力防护措施。

Army whistleblower alleges senior military officials ignored warnings ahead of deadly attack in Kuwait
Updated on: November 15, 2026 / 11:11 AM EST / CBS News
A U.S. Army soldier who survived a deadly Iranian drone attack filed a whistleblower complaint to Congress alleging senior military officials ignored warnings and did not plan properly for anti-drone defenses ahead of the war with Iran.
The whistleblower, Army Maj. Stephen Ramsbottom, spoke exclusively with 60 Minutes ‘ Norah O’Donnell about his complaint, which was submitted to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees on Friday and obtained by CBS News.
He alleges Army leaders dismissed concerns over thin fortifications at a U.S. command post in Kuwait where six American soldiers were killed by an Iranian drone in the first 24 hours of the conflict, the deadliest attack on U.S. troops in the war.
The complaint also claims the post — known as Port Shuaiba — “had no physician, no fixed aid station, and only one ambulance.”
“I feel this is a tactical failure by the Army, our leadership, and myself — all the way down to my level,” Maj. Ramsbottom told 60 Minutes. “We just did not plan this well, and this needs to be a lesson that we learn.”
Ramsbottom spoke with 60 Minutes as part of an eight-month investigation into the March 1 attack at the command post, known as Port Shuaiba. The day after the attack, in a press conference, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insisted the troops there were well protected.
“Every once in a while you might have one, unfortunately, we call it a squirter that makes its way through,” Hegseth said. “And in that particular case it happened to hit a tactical operations center that was fortified. But these are powerful weapons.”
The eyewitness accounts, along with photos and videos of the attack’s aftermath, offer a staggering look at the thinly fortified Kuwaiti port facility when it was hit one day after the U.S. and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut and the ranking member on the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, issued a series of demands to Hegseth after reviewing the whistleblower complaint.
In a letter dated Nov. 15, the senator called on Hegseth to appear in a classified briefing and provide “all force protection assessments” for Port Shuaiba. Democrats have signaled they will probe the administration’s handling of the war with Iran when they retake both houses of Congress next year.
“The families of the six fallen servicemembers, the wounded survivors, and the American people deserve transparency and accountability,” wrote Blumenthal.
A Pentagon spokesperson declined to comment on Ramsbottom’s allegations, including on whether adequate force protection was in place at Port Shuaiba.
