Iran has targeted US forces on Kuwait’s Bubiyan island, says the spokesperson of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters in a video statement shared by state media, Al Jazeera reports.

Ebrahim Zolfaqari said Iranian drones targeted satellite equipment and munitions on the island, adding that US forces had relocated there from Arifjan camp after that base was repeatedly struck by Iran.

Bubiyan island in the northwest of the Gulf is the largest of Kuwait’s coastal island chain.
