00:18What really hit Kuwait International Airport?
00:22A shocking discovery inside the wreckage may have just answered that question.
00:27An engine believed to belong to Iran's infamous Shehead-136 Kamikaze drone has reportedly been recovered from the debris of
00:36Kuwait International Airport's Terminal 1 following a deadly strike that rocked the Gulf nation.
00:43The attack occurred on June 3rd, when a powerful explosion tore through the civilian terminal, killing at least one person,
00:51injuring dozens more, and causing extensive structural damage.
00:55Now, investigators say the evidence is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
01:01Photos from the scene show airport personnel examining what appears to be an MD-550 piston engine, the same engine
01:09commonly used in Iran's Shehead-136 loitering munitions.
01:14And that's not all.
01:16Kuwaiti authorities have also released surveillance footage, allegedly showing a low-flying triangular drone approaching the airport moments before impact.
01:26The drone's shape, flight profile, and final dive closely resemble the Shehead-136, one of Iran's most recognizable and widely
01:36deployed attack drones.
01:37The footage has intensified scrutiny of Tehran's version of events.
01:42The Iranian Revolutionary Guard, or IRGC, has denied targeting Kuwait International Airport.
01:50Instead, Iranian officials argue that the damage was caused by a malfunctioning U.S. Patriot interceptor missile that failed during
01:58an attempted interception and crashed into the terminal.
02:02But critics say that explanation raises serious questions.
02:06If a Patriot interceptor caused the damage, why was a Shehead-type engine reportedly found in the wreckage?
02:13Why do surveillance videos appear to see a drone striking the building?
02:18And where is the evidence of a Patriot missile failure?
02:21So far, no publicly available images have surfaced showing Patriot missile components at the crash site.
02:28The United States has also strongly rejected Iran's explanation.
02:33CENTCOM has described the incident as a deliberate drone attack on civilian infrastructure and dismissed Tehran's claims as completely false.
02:42Meanwhile, Kuwaiti authorities have condemned the strike as a hostile attack on a civilian airport and launched an investigation into
02:50the incident.
02:51The airport itself became a scene of chaos.
02:54Passengers fled through smoke-filled corridors.
02:58Emergency crews rushed to contain fires.
03:01Flight operations were temporarily suspended as authorities assessed the damage.
03:05The strike comes amid one of the most dangerous periods of tension between the United States and Iran in years.
03:12Following recent military exchanges across the Gulf, fears are growing that regional infrastructure, including airports, ports, and energy facilities, could
03:23increasingly become targets in a widening confrontation.
03:26For now, investigators continue to examine the wreckage.
03:30But with surveillance footage released, casualties confirmed, and what appears to be a Sheahead 136 engine recovered from the debris,
03:39attention is rapidly shifting toward one central question.
03:43Did the evidence just expose what really hit Kuwait International Airport?
03:48As the war of narratives intensifies, the discovery of a single engine could become one of the most important pieces
03:56of evidence in the escalating Gulf crisis.
