From Birmingham, this is your March 2nd update. The U.S. military confirmed a friendly fire incident where Kuwaiti defenses mistakenly shot down three American F-15E strike Eagle jets during. Combat operations against Iran. This happened amid Operation Epic Fury as Iranian forces launched attacks with aircraft, missiles, and drones. All six crew members ejected safely and were recovered in stable condition. Kuwaiti quickly acknowledged the mistake and helped with search and rescue, getting the pilots the hospitals for checks. Now, the U.S. and Kuwait are running a joint probe to figure out exactly what went wrong. Casualties are mounting in the conflict. Iran reports at least 555 deaths since U.S. and Israeli strikes began Saturday. Israel has lost 11 people, 11 on 31, and the U.S. announced three service members killed with five more seriously hurt. President Trump spoke out, vowing to avenge the fallen troops and issuing a fresh warning to Iran.
He revealed U.S. forces sank nine Iranian naval ships and wrecked their naval headquarters. Trump also noted the death of Iran's supreme leader, and called on Iranians to change their government. Fighting continues to heat up, with fresh Iranian strikes on Israel and U.S. backed hits on Tehran.
