Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it launched attacks on 18 United States military targets located in Kuwait and Bahrain early Thursday morning. The strikes reportedly targeted three air bases across the two countries. This action is presented by the IRGC as retaliation for recent U.S. attacks on Iranian coastal posts, police facilities, and Bandar Abbas Airport. Details regarding damage or casualties have not yet been independently verified. The attacks mark a significant escalation in tensions between the U.S. and Iran. No immediate response has been issued by the U.S. Department of Defense. The IRGC statement claims the attacks were successful in hitting their intended targets.
