IRGC Urges Kuwaitis to Expel US Forces After Strikes on Military Base

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Wednesday that it had destroyed a satellite communications centre, a Patriot air defence complex, missile defence radar, and HIMARS launchers at a U.S. military base in Kuwait. This operation, described as the sixth wave of "Operation Nasr 2," was carried out in retaliation for American attacks on Iran.

The IRGC stated that the strikes were a response to repeated U.S. aggression, including the overnight bombing of a wheat storage facility in Hoveyzeh, Khuzestan province, and a mineral water factory in Dehloran, Ilam province. The IRGC condemned these attacks on civilian targets as evidence of American "impotence and cruelty."

Addressing the Kuwaiti people directly, the IRGC statement noted that the war began more than four months ago when the U.S. killed the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and 168 schoolchildren in Minab. It added that many subsequent attacks have been launched from U.S. bases on Kuwaiti soil. "You know very well that we have no enmity with you, indeed we love the noble and generous Kuwaiti nation," the statement said. "This operation was a response to the American criminals."

The IRGC called on Kuwaitis to expel U.S. forces from their land, citing the deaths of 70,000 Palestinians, including 20,000 children, in Gaza and the Minab school massacre. "The pure soil of Kuwait must not be occupied by criminals," it said, urging the population to "seize every opportunity to destroy the institutions of the aggressor Americans and liberate Islamic lands from the occupiers."

According to Mehr News, the IRGC's statement emphasized that the strikes were a direct response to U.S. provocations and called for Kuwaiti action against the American presence.
