Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has confirmed attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
According to the IRGC, the Navy and Air Force launched ballistic missiles and drones at the US Army at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the US Fifth Naval Fleet at Port Salman in the Bahraini capital, Manama.
The IRGC said that, under the US-Iran interim deal, “the arrangements for controlling traffic in the Strait of Hormuz” are with Tehran.
“And from now on, violating ships will be dealt with more forcefully than in the past,” it said.
The IRGC also warned that “any possible enemy aggression, under any pretext” – such as the US attacks carried out over the past days – will be met with “a crushing response”.
Violating the ceasefire contravenes the MoU “and will result in a complete halt to the processes”, the statement added.
Bahrain and Kuwait activated air raid sirens amid the drone interception and urged residents to remain calm.
Attacks on Iran by US
Earlier, the US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said that it launched new attacks in Iran.
According to CENTCOM, the latest attacks were launched in response to an Iranian drone attack on a vessel near the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement, it said, “US military aircraft targeted Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities.”
Later, Iranian media reported “several explosions” in the area near the Strait of Hormuz.
