As of the time of this report, it is unclear the exact number of US fighter planes that crashed and the exact cause of the crashes, although they are believed to have been shut down by Iranian weapons as the war with the US continues. Al Jazeera showed a video showing how one of the fighter planes crashed.
Kuwait is one of the Middle East countries that has suffered from multiple Iranian missile attacks targeting US bases and facilities in the region. Other affected countries include Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
