Wounded US Troops Allege Military Medical System Failed Them After Iranian Drone Strike

Nine US service members injured in a March 2026 Iranian drone strike at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, have publicly criticized the Department of Defense for failing to provide adequate medical care. The soldiers allege that bureaucratic errors, such as incorrect combat-wounding codes, prevented them from being admitted to major military hospitals like Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. Instead, many were sent to barracks and forced to seek outpatient care independently. The Pentagon maintains that all troops were evaluated according to standard practices, but critics point to years of disinvestment in Middle East medical facilities as a root cause.

Cricket Legends Urge Independent Health Check for Imran Khan

Twenty-one former international cricket captains have urged Pakistan’s prime minister to ensure humane treatment and proper medical care for Imran Khan by allowing an independent health assessment, reinstating weekly family visits, and delivering any recommended treatment promptly after a court-ordered transfer to a private hospital was delayed; the appeal frames Khan’s health concerns, including a reported loss of vision, as a human-rights issue, noting there were no Pakistani signatories among the endorsers.
