Iran Army drones strike US Patriot systems in Kuwait and Bahrain

The Iranian Army's public relations office announced that Arash suicide drones successfully targeted radar systems, Patriot batteries, and fuel tanks at the Ali al-Salem airbase in Kuwait. This base hosts the Patriot system tasked with defending transport aircraft and advanced drones, including MQ-9 Reapers.

In a separate wave of attacks, communications systems, Super Hawk radars, and Patriot installations at the Sheikh Isa airbase in Bahrain were also struck by drone strikes. The Army stated that the Sheikh Isa base, which also hosts U.S. aircraft support units, has sustained serious damage from successive drone and missile attacks carried out by both the Army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in recent days.

According to the Army statement, "The audacity, arrogance, threats and aggression of the enemy only strengthen our motivation and power to defend." The report by Mehr News Agency added that these operations demonstrate Iran's defensive capabilities in response to perceived threats.
