Iran missile strike destroys US hangar at Kuwait base, satellite images show

Satellite images released on Thursday show that one of the drone or aircraft hangars at the US Ali al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait was destroyed as a result of Iranian missile strikes carried out on Wednesday. The strikes were a response to US aggression on a military station in southern Iran.

According to reports, the US had targeted southern Iran, including Qeshm Island, from its bases in Kuwait and Bahrain the previous night. Iran quickly retaliated by attacking the origin of those attacks. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense acknowledged in a statement that Iran had attacked the source of the attacks with cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) also confirmed in a statement that Iran had launched missile attacks on its bases in West Asia. Western media, including the BBC, had previously reported multi-million dollar damage to about 20 US bases in the region due to Iranian attacks. These media outlets emphasized that the Americans were hiding the real level of damage to their bases.

According to Mehr News Agency, the satellite imagery provides clear evidence of the damage inflicted on the US base in Kuwait. The report added that the Iranian strikes were a direct response to US aggression and that further retaliatory actions could follow if provocations continue.
