Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim missile and drone attack on US base in Kuwait

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Thursday that it had launched a combined missile and drone attack targeting the Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait. According to Iranian state media reports, the strike was directed at the base’s radar detection system and at a gathering of American military personnel stationed there.The attack marks an escalation in regional tensions and represents a direct strike against US military infrastructure in the Gulf. Al-Salem Air Base, located approximately 240 kilometres south of the Iraqi border, hosts US Air Force operations and is a key component of American military presence in the region. The base houses advanced radar systems used for air defence monitoring across the Persian Gulf.The claim has not yet been independently verified by Western sources, and there have been no immediate statements from the US military regarding casualties or damage. The attack, if confirmed, would represent a significant escalation following weeks of heightened tensions between Iran and the United States in the Gulf region.
