Iran Army Strikes US Bases in Kuwait and Jordan with Drones

The Iranian Army's public relations office announced that its forces conducted fresh drone attacks on US military bases in Kuwait and Jordan on Tuesday. The strikes, part of what the Army called "Operation Thunderbolt," targeted ammunition warehouses at Camp al-Adiri, headquarters buildings and ammunition depots at the Ali al-Salem airbase, and several connecting bridges in Kuwait. Fuel storage tanks at the al-Azraq airbase in Jordan were also hit.

Camp al-Adiri is described as a key support and combat reorganization center for US forces. Ali al-Salem airbase is one of the largest American hubs for aerial logistics and coordination in the Persian Gulf region. Al-Azraq airbase, according to the Army statement, has become a vital facility for the United States, used for regional control and military operations across West Asia.

The Army said the operations were a "crushing and impact-focused response" aimed at strategic assets, command and control centers, logistical infrastructure, and air defense systems of what it termed the "terrorist American army." It added that the Iranian nation's will, backed by the resolve of its Armed Forces, would confront any power that attempted to test it.

According to Mehr News Agency, the attacks represent a significant escalation in the region, though no immediate confirmation from US officials was available at the time of reporting.
