Several US Warplanes Crash In Kuwait, Crews Safe: Defence Ministry by 89green(op): 9:51am On Mar 02
Kuwait's Defence Ministry reported multiple U.S. warplanes crashed. All crew members survived and received medical care. This incident occurs as tensions rise in West Asia. Iran had previously claimed to shoot down a U.S. fighter jet. The region faces escalating conflict following recent strikes. Multiple locations across the region were reportedly targeted.

Kuwait Ministry of Defence said on Monday that several American warplanes crashed but their crews survived, as tensions across West Asia continue to escalate.

A spokesperson for the Kuwait defence ministry said multiple U.S. military aircraft crashed earlier in the day, but confirmed that all crew members were safe, the army said in a post on social media platform X.

The official said authorities promptly launched search-and-rescue operations, evacuating the personnel and taking them to hospital for medical evaluation and care, adding that their condition was stable.

He added that Kuwaiti authorities coordinated directly with U.S. forces to assess the circumstances and undertake joint technical measures. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the incident, and the spokesperson urged the public to rely only on official sources for information.

The statement came hours after Iran's state-run Islamic Republic News Agency claimed a U.S. F-15 fighter jet had been shot down in Kuwait on Monday morning, citing local sources and circulating a video it said showed the aircraft going down. The claim has not been independently verified.

The developments follow a widening regional conflict triggered by the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in joint strikes by Israel and the United States over the weekend.

Earlier, U.S. Central Command said Iran had targeted multiple sites across the region, including airports in Dubai, Kuwait and Erbil, as well as locations in Bahrain and Qatar and residential areas in Israel.

Reports of fresh blasts added to fears of escalation. Al Jazeera reported explosions in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, along with loud bangs in Doha, while Arab News said Iranian missiles and drones had also targeted Kuwait and Bahrain.

An eyewitness told Reuters that smoke was seen rising near the U.S. embassy in Kuwait. Earlier Monday, the Kuwait Army said its air defence units intercepted hostile targets before dawn.

US and Israel said they wanted regime change to their own puppet, pls have US now achieved the regime change despite the Iranian officials , leaders they killed? Trump was warned severally not to go to war with Iran, now lives have been wasted in all the us military bases in the middle east, even Telaviv is burning. What's the point of going to war with Iran when what you wish to achieve is impossible.

Note, if you have strong allies and you are good in fighting back with proper ammo, US will think thrice
