IRGC Launches Retaliatory Strike on U.S. Air Base in Kuwait

According to Saednews, The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Ground Force said it carried out a combined missile and drone attack early Wednesday against the command center and accommodation facility of the American commander at Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, alongside attacks on U.S. bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Erbil.

According to the IRGC Ground Force’s Public Relations Office, several U.S. personnel were killed in the attack. It also said a drone hangar and launch ramp allegedly used for attacks against civilians were set on fire, with several drones destroyed.

The IRGC described the operation as retaliation for a reported U.S. attack in Sirik, where it said a wedding celebration was struck and a residential building was destroyed. The statement claimed that nearly 70 people were injured and that four people, including a child, were killed.
