The US media is not painting the full picture of the Iran war [View all]

I am browsing foreign news, and it is pretty clear Iran has not "lost" as Trump puts it. They are hitting a lot of targets. Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Kuwait, etc.

For example, the French newspaper Le Figaro has a running thread if you can read French:

https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/en-direct-guerre-au-moyen-orient-la-marine-iranienne-dit-avoir-lance-une-vague-massive-d-attaques-de-drones-contre-les-forces-americaines-20260307#08-03-2026-00-43-26

Agenda Free TV on twitch/YouTube is also a good source. They are live-streaming now.

The reason Iran can hit these targets is that it is very hard to stop drones; they fly low and slow, hard to detect and take down.

UPDATE: If you cant access the french website or read it here is an excerpt of the latest:

Le Koweït dénonce une attaque de drones contre son aéroport international

Des drones ont attaqué les réservoirs de carburant de l’aéroport international de Koweït tôt dimanche, a déclaré le ministère de la Défense du pays du même nom.

«Les forces armées koweïtiennes ont répondu à une vague de drones hostiles qui ont pénétré l’espace aérien du pays. Les réservoirs de carburant de l’aéroport international de Koweït ont été attaqués par des drones», a écrit un porte-parole du ministère sur X, dénonçant une opération contre «une infrastructure essentielle».

Quelques minutes plus tard, l’armée du pays du Golfe a dit sur le même réseau social être aux prises avec «des attaques de missile et de drone», sans les dénombrer.


So, the kuwait forces reported a drone attack against its international airport.
Drones attacked fuel tanks at Kuwait International airport early sunday, the country's ministry of defense reported.

"The kuwait armed forces responded to a wave of hostile drones which penetrated the country's airspace ", as reported on X by a ministry spokeperson without giving a specific number.
