The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it targeted US military points in Kuwait in retaliation for US attacks on civilian targets in Iran. The statement said radar systems, missile launchers, and weapons depots were hit, while signaling that retaliation operations will continue. No official statement has yet been made by the US or Kuwait regarding the outcome of the attack.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it has carried out a new retaliation operation following recent US strikes on Iranian territory. In a statement published by Iranian state media, it was stated that US military assets in Kuwait were targeted as part of the operation.
CLAIM OF "TARGETING CIVILIANS"
In the IRGC statement, it was alleged that the US resumed attacks while negotiations were ongoing. The statement claimed that telecommunications and railway workers, as well as vehicles in traffic, were targeted, and that many civilians lost their lives due to these attacks.
ALLEGED STRIKES ON RADAR AND MISSILE SYSTEMS
Iran announced that in the new phase of "Operation Nasr-2," US missile defense detection and early warning radars, weapons depots, and surface-to-surface missile launch systems in Kuwait were targeted. It was also claimed that spare ammunition for these systems was struck.
KUWAIT AIR DEFENSES ACTIVATED
The Kuwaiti army announced that air defense systems were activated against "hostile aerial targets" in the country's airspace. Local authorities reported that some explosion sounds were caused by interception activities conducted by air defense units. However, independent verification of damage to US targets has not yet been conducted.
TENSIONS IN THE REGION RISE AGAIN
In recent days, mutual attacks between the US and Iran around the Strait of Hormuz have once again raised tensions in the region. While the US has conducted new air operations targeting Iranian missiles, drones, and coastal defense assets, Iran claims to have carried out attacks on US military sites in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. These developments increase security concerns in the Gulf and also cause fluctuations in energy markets.
MESSAGE THAT "OPERATIONS WILL CONTINUE"
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that retaliation operations will continue in response to new US attacks, while the Washington administration has not yet issued an official assessment of Iran's latest statements. It is reported that the US has increased its military presence and air defense measures in the region following the attacks.
