Iran’s IRGC says strikes destroyed U.S. assets at bases in Bahrain, Kuwait
Revolutionary Guards claim missile and drone attacks damaged U.S. weapons depots and MQ-9 drones as Washington's regional military footprint comes under renewed attack
TEHRAN, Iran (MNTV) — Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that it had destroyed U.S. military equipment and drones in coordinated missile and drone strikes targeting American military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait, marking another escalation in the widening confrontation between Tehran and Washington.
In a statement carried by Iran’s state news agency IRNA, the IRGC said its forces struck Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain in a simultaneous missile and drone operation, claiming the attack destroyed multiple weapons storage facilities and depots containing equipment used to support U.S. aircraft and naval operations.
The Revolutionary Guards also said a separate strike targeted Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, where Iranian forces claimed to have destroyed or damaged several U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones by striking the section of the base where the aircraft were deployed.
The claims have not been independently verified, and U.S. military authorities had not immediately commented on the reported attacks.
Earlier on Tuesday, Kuwaiti authorities confirmed that the country’s air defense systems had intercepted what they described as hostile aerial targets entering Kuwaiti airspace.
In neighboring Bahrain, air raid sirens sounded for the fourth time that day as authorities warned residents of potential aerial threats amid the deteriorating regional security situation.
The latest attacks underscore the growing vulnerability of the extensive U.S. military network across the Gulf, where Washington has spent decades expanding bases, deploying advanced weaponry, and projecting military power under the banner of regional security.
The continued concentration of American forces has instead transformed Gulf states into frontline targets whenever conflict erupts between the United States and its regional adversaries.
The strikes come as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to intensify over the Strait of Hormuz, despite a Pakistani-mediated memorandum of understanding intended to halt hostilities and lay the foundation for a lasting peace agreement.
Instead of moving toward de-escalation, both sides have continued exchanging military attacks, raising fears that the conflict could spread further across the region.
Analysts warn that the repeated military exchanges highlight the fragility of diplomatic efforts while exposing the risks created by Washington’s continued military intervention in the Middle East.
They argue that the expanding conflict increasingly threatens regional stability, places neighboring countries at greater risk, and undermines prospects for a negotiated settlement.
