IRGC Claims Missile and Drone Strikes on US Military Sites in Bahrain and Kuwait

Tehran. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed to have targeted 85 US military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait with missiles and drones. The IRGC stated that this action was taken in retaliation after the US carried out airstrikes on more than 80 Iranian military targets.

In a statement released via Telegram, the IRGC mentioned that its navy and air force jointly targeted US military facilities at Salman Port in Bahrain and the operational area of the US Fifth Fleet. Similarly, the IRGC claimed that missile and drone attacks were also carried out on Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.

However, the US Fifth Fleet has not immediately responded to this claim. Earlier, Kuwait had stated that its air defense system was dealing with missile and drone threats coming towards the country. Bahrain had also informed that sirens were sounded across the country as a warning of a potential attack.

A few hours before this incident, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) had stated that airstrikes were carried out on more than 80 Iranian military targets in retaliation after an attack on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
