IRGC claims attacks on Kuwait

Published Updated

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed more attacks on US military assets in Kuwait, insisting the strikes were retaliation against Washington and not the Kuwaiti people, Al Jazeera reports.

The IRGC said it had “attacked and destroyed a large warehouse of military equipment, a Patriot missile defence system, and a hangar of American MQ9 drones” at Ali al-Salem Air Base.

It also claimed attacks on US forces’s accommodation and two helicopter hangars at the Al-Adiri barracks, saying the attacks caused casualties and inflicted heavy damage on helicopters and drones.

The IRGC added that its fighters “targeted a telecommunications tower in response to US attacks on telecommunications towers in Iran”.
