IRGC Strikes US Radar and Drone Hangar in Kuwait

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it has carried out strikes targeting a US radar and drone hangar in Kuwait. The operation was described as retaliation for repeated US attacks on Iranian soil.

In a statement addressed to the "noble people of Kuwait," the IRGC claimed that parts of Kuwait have been under US military occupation for years, serving as a base for operations that have killed Muslims in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine. The statement referenced an incident 140 days ago, which it described as the start of a war by the "child-killing American army" that began with the massacre of 168 schoolchildren at the Minab school and the martyrdom of "the most eminent religious scholar of the present age, Imam Khamenei."

The IRGC asserted that "the land of Kuwait must not be a safe haven for a terrorist army that over recent decades has attacked at least ten Islamic countries and killed millions of Muslims." It further declared that the US military is "mahdur al-dam" (meaning its bloodshed is permissible) according to fatwas of scholars from all Islamic sects, and that it is the duty of every Muslim to destroy them by any means possible.

The IRGC called on Kuwaitis to "rise to this religious duty and restore the dignity of Islamic lands." The statement did not provide specific details on the extent of damage or casualties from the strikes.

According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), the IRGC's announcement comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with Iran accusing the US of aggression and interference in the region. The report by MNA added that the IRGC's statement emphasized the need for Kuwait to free itself from US military presence.
