Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced it targeted U.S. military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait, claiming to have hit air defense systems and radar installations. The Guard stated it struck two air defense systems and a radar at separate U.S. posts in Bahrain, as well as missile defense systems, radars, and satellite reception systems in Kuwait.
According to a statement distributed by IRNA, the Revolutionary Guard asserted that destroying these radars would compel the enemy to prepare for "even more decisive and powerful waves of drone and missile attacks." This escalation follows earlier reports from the United States that it had launched overnight attacks against Iranian military command centers, air defense systems, and missile launch sites.
Iranian state television IRIB reported that the targets included administrative buildings and direction-finding antennas at Arifjan camp, a helicopter parking area at Al Udairi camp, and troop accommodation buildings at Ahmad Al Jaber Air Base in Kuwait. The report specified that Iranian kamikaze drones targeted "three main U.S. bases in Kuwait."
By destroying these radars, the enemy should prepare for even more decisive and powerful waves of drone and missile attacks.
