THE COST OF WAR - An eight-month investigation examines U.S. military failures surrounding the deadliest attack against U.S. troops in the war with Iran. Six American soldiers were killed when an Iranian drone hit an Army command post in Kuwait in the first 24 hours of fighting. 60 MINUTES correspondent Norah O'Donnell reports on the allegations of missed warnings leading up to the attack and documents the extensive damage Iran inflicted on U.S. bases in the region. O'Donnell also speaks with a surviving soldier who is now blowing the whistle and Gold Star families who lost loved ones in the attack. Michael Kaplan and Jonah P. Kaplan are the producers.
KRATOM - 60 MINUTES investigates the billion-dollar kratom industry. Advocates for kratom hail the substance as a natural supplement used as a mild stimulant and even an aid in recovery from opioid use disorder. But increasingly, there is outrage that kratom is an opioid that can lead to addiction and death. More than a decade ago, the Food and Drug Administration issued an import alert to stop the flow of kratom and has warned the public of its risks. Yet, kratom products line shelves in thousands of gas stations, smoke shops, and convenience stores around the country. Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports. Denise Schrier Cetta and Elizabeth Germino are the producers.
JOHN MALKOVICH - There are few actors more distinctive thanJohn Malkovich.

He speaks with 60 MINUTES' Ariel Levy about his wide-ranging career as an artist, his approach to playing the roles on stage and screen, and his newest film, "Wild Horse Nine." Michael Karzis and Katie Kerbstat are the producers.
