Iran’s IRNA and Tasnim news agencies have shared a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), saying it carried out attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, Al Jazeera reports.

The IRGC said its navy and air force launched ballistic missiles and drones at the US Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait and the US Fifth Naval Fleet at Port Salman in the Bahraini capital, Manama.

The statement said the attacks were in response to the US bombing of five coastal locations in Iran.

The IRGC reiterated that, under the US-Iran interim deal, “the arrangements for controlling traffic in the Strait of Hormuz” are with Tehran.

“And from now on, violating ships will be dealt with more forcefully than in the past,” it said.

The IRGC also warned that “any possible enemy aggression, under any pretext” — such as the US attacks carried out over the past few days — will be met with “a crushing response”.

Violating the ceasefire contravenes the MoU, “and will result in a complete halt to the processes”, the statement added.
