By name… How Iran turned US bases into graveyards for hundreds of American soldiers and experts

Information tracked from US forces databases, evacuation reports, and obituary data has revealed the killing of approximately 280 American soldiers and contractors, including high-ranking officers and experts, in devastating Iranian attacks on US bases in the Gulf over the past weeks, in addition to hundreds of wounded. This contradicts the official narrative of the US and the Pentagon regarding the scale of Washington’s human losses and confirms Iran’s success in turning US bases into graveyards for the forces stationed there.

Exclusive Report – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

Major massacre at Al-Udeid Base:

According to data from US military medical evacuation units, 28 American military personnel and technicians stationed at Al-Udeid Base in Qatar were killed in a single strike in April, when an Iranian missile carrying a bunker-busting warhead targeted the Joint Air Operations Center located underground.

Information indicates that the bodies were transported via “C-17” aircraft to “Ramstein” Base in Germany, and the deaths were recorded under the headings of “military exercises” occurring at the same time to justify the return of the coffins.

The information, based on internal Pentagon obituary records and medical evacuation reports from “Ramstein” Base in Germany, includes many names of American dead who fell in this attack, including:

1. General (Mark A. Henderson): Assistant Commander of the Air Forces in Central Command, considered the highest-ranking American officer to be killed in the region in decades. His death was officially announced later as a result of a “training aviation accident” inside the US.

2. Colonel (Sarah J. Whitworth): Head of the Strategic Planning Department at the Operations Center and an expert in drone warfare management and integrated systems.

3. Colonel (David S. Thompson): Staff Officer for Cyber Operations and Electronic Defense at Al-Udeid Base.

4. Lieutenant (Colonel Robert F. Miller): Commander of the Technical Support Squadron associated with space encryption programs.

5. Lieutenant Colonel (Michael R. Stevens): Expert in long-range airstrike coordination.

6. Major (Joshua W. King): Air Operations Officer and Target Analyst.

7. Captain (Melissa R. Thompson): Intelligence Data Analyst.

8. First Lieutenant (Brandon S. Miller): Space Communications Expert.

9. Sergeant First Class (Terrence J. Davis): Chief of Encryption Systems Technicians.

10. Sergeant (Alex L. Morton): Central Server Maintenance Technician.

11. Sergeant (Sarah M. Garcia): Long-Range Radar Operator.

Losses of the “Technical Elite Unit” in Kuwait:

Information also reveals that about 14 American experts were killed and 35 suffered permanent disabilities as a result of an Iranian attack targeting a complex of “F-22” maintenance experts and signal analysts from the “NSA” within the “Technical Elite Unit” at Ali Al Salem Base in Kuwait.

According to the information, many of these were high-level contractors, not traditional “soldiers,” and their loss dealt a blow to the operation of stealth aircraft squadrons in the region for weeks.

The list of dead in this attack included:

1. Colonel Engineer (Steven R. Parker): Responsible for the F-22 aircraft maintenance unit, killed as a result of the targeting of the housing complex.

2. Lieutenant Colonel (Christopher L. Lewis): Expert from the National Security Agency (NSA) who was seconded to manage the “Signals Intelligence” unit at the base.

3. Major (Edward B. Lewis): Jet engine maintenance expert (F-22 aircraft).

4. Captain (Richard A. Holland): Military supply officer.

5. Lieutenant (Kelly N. Roberts): Facilities security officer.

6. Sergeant First (Class Marcus F. Cooper): Head of the munitions unit.

7. Sergeant (Jonathan R. Smith): Aviation electrical technician.

8. Sergeant (Eric D. Young): Ground protection unit.

Losses at the Fifth Fleet Headquarters:

Additionally, the information confirms the killing of 19 American sailors due to the sinking of a logistics support vessel they were on board at the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, targeted in an attack by Iranian drone submarines, in addition to 11 soldiers killed in a strike targeting ammunition depots at “Bohring” Base (formerly known as Al-Odeiri) in Kuwait, where the strike led to a series of explosions that destroyed half the base.

The list of dead from the American support vessel includes:

1. Captain (James H. Foster): Senior officer in the Naval Supply Command.

2. Naval Lieutenant Commander (Elizabeth K. Garcia): Officer in charge of naval operations in the underwater survey unit.

3. Naval Lieutenant (Sean M. Kelly): Naval navigation officer.

4. Naval Petty Officer (Nicholas J. Ward): Marine engine mechanics technician.

5. Seaman (Christopher A. Murphy): Logistics support unit.

6. Seaman (Amanda L. White): Naval communications technician.

7. Naval Petty Officer (Ryan P. Clark): Technical diver for underwater maintenance.

These are added to about 45 other members of the US Navy included in the tracked death lists, including Seaman (Jeffrey S. Hall) and Lieutenant (Matt B. Baker).

More than 280 dead and 800 wounded:

According to the information, estimates from American intelligence circles indicate between 240 and 280 deaths among American forces, and it is likely that they will be distributed across different lists (contractors, civilian employees, soldiers on “non-combat” missions, or deaths at bases outside the conflict zone) to minimize and fragment the losses.

The leaked lists include the names of dozens of others dead who fell in Iranian attacks on “Al-Dhafra” and “Prince Sultan” bases in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, including:

1. Lieutenant Colonel (Benjamin K. Taylor): Air Defense Liaison and Coordination Officer (Al-Dhafra).

2. Captain (Jessica F. Adams): Officer in charge of the Monitoring and Surveillance Unit (Al-Dhafra).

3. Sergeant (Aaron B. Walker): “Patriot” Battery Operator (Prince Sultan Base).

4. Soldier (Tyler S. Cooper).

5. Sergeant (Derek Young).

6. Sergeant (Nathan B. Hall) – Al-Udeid Base.

7. Corporal (Alexander S. Reed) – Ali Al Salem Base.

8. Specialist (Jacob M. Taylor) – Prince Sultan Base.

9. Corporal (Benjamin K. Lewis) – Al-Udeid Base.

According to the information, more than 800 American soldiers at various American bases in the Gulf have been diagnosed with severe brain injuries resulting from blast pressure. These individuals have been transported and distributed to Veterans Affairs hospitals in the US and have not been counted as wounded in daily data.

American reports had already revealed the evacuation of hundreds of American soldiers from various bases that were attacked during the war, which have become completely exposed after Iran succeeded in destroying communication, monitoring, and early warning networks.

The information reveals that Iran also succeeded in carrying out precise cyber penetrations of (Patriot) and (THAAD) systems at many bases, leading to their disablement.

In order to conceal these losses, the information indicates that American forces are forcing the families of the dead to sign strict non-disclosure agreements in exchange for receiving exceptional insurance benefits, and the bodies are buried in private ceremonies without media coverage.

The information clarifies that the evacuation process for the dead and wounded was codenamed “Autumn Journey” and was carried out under the cover of “routine repositioning movements.”

Experts from American Defense Companies:

Information based on leaked lists from the “Office of Personnel Management” and the “Landstuhl” evacuation organization also reveals approximately 110 dead from the category of (technical personnel and contractors), experts working on systems of American defense companies such as (Northrop Grumman), (Lockheed Martin), and (Raytheon), who fell in attacks on maintenance centers and data centers targeted by Iran.

2. Technician (Steven Brown): Weapons Systems Specialist for (F-35) fighters.
