Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed an attack against Kuwait, which it says was in retaliation for US attacks on an Iranian oil tanker and island, AFP reports.

“In response to this aggression, the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, which hosts helicopters, as well as the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, were targeted with missiles and drones by the Guards’ forces,” the Guards add in a statement on their official Telegram channel.
