The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran's elite military force, has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks targeting US military facilities in Kuwait. In a statement, the IRGC said it struck a large warehouse of military equipment, a Patriot missile defense system, and a hangar housing American MQ9 drones at the Ali al-Salem Air Base. The group also reported attacks on two helicopter hangars at Camp al-Adiri and a telecommunications tower elsewhere in the Gulf country.
The claims come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States. The IRGC's statement did not provide evidence for the attacks, and there has been no immediate confirmation from US or Kuwaiti officials. The reported targets include key military assets, such as the Patriot system, which is used to intercept incoming missiles, and MQ9 drones, which are employed for surveillance and strikes.
The United States maintains a significant military presence in Kuwait, a key ally in the region. If verified, these attacks would mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US. However, details remain unconfirmed, and investigations are likely underway.
The IRGC frequently claims operations against US forces in the Middle East, but many assertions remain unsubstantiated. This report is based solely on the IRGC's statement.
