IRGC strikes 18 American targets in Kuwait and Bahrain

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) public relations office announced that its Aerospace and Navy forces carried out two waves of operations, hitting and destroying key assets at the Ali al-Salem and Ahmad al-Jaber air bases in Kuwait and the Sheikh Isa air base in Bahrain.

The statement described the strikes as punishment for the "child-killing U.S. army's" aggression against service units, IRGC coastal posts, the police command, and the Bandar Abbas airport perimeter. The IRGC cited a Quranic verse on proportional retaliation and concluded with the phrase: "Victory is only from God, the Almighty, the Wise."

According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), the operation targeted 18 American positions across the two countries. No further details on casualties or damage were provided in the initial report.
