Iran’s IRGC claims strikes on U.S. targets in Kuwait, Bahrain in retaliation

TEHRAN, June 28 — Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said its forces fired ballistic missiles and drones at U.S. military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain early Sunday in retaliation for recent U.S. strikes against five Iranian coastal posts.

In a statement on its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said its navy and aerospace force launched a joint retaliatory attack against the U.S. Army’s eight important infrastructure facilities at the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

It added that the United States had attacked five Iranian coastal posts early Sunday under the pretext of responding to the IRGC Navy’s “confrontation with a violating ship.”
