Iran attacks two US military bases in Kuwait

The Iranian army has announced it launched drone attacks against two U.S. military installations in Kuwait, escalating regional tensions. State television reported that the targets included a U.S. Army ammunition depot located in the desert camp Udairi and radar systems situated at the Ali al-Salem airbase.

These alleged strikes are presented by Iran as a direct retaliation for recent U.S. military actions against targets within the Islamic Republic. The announcement comes amid a period of heightened conflict, where both nations have vowed revenge following the deaths of two U.S. soldiers and subsequent U.S. bombings in Iran.

The U.S. military, through its Middle East command Centcom, confirmed it had conducted airstrikes for the eighth consecutive night. These operations aimed to swiftly punish the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, whom the U.S. accuses of carrying out prior attacks against American soldiers in Jordan. The ongoing exchange of hostilities underscores the volatile security situation in the Persian Gulf region.
