Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have struck and damaged US military equipment stores, drones, helicopters, and a Patriot missile system at bases in Kuwait on Thursday, according to Iranian semi-official state news outlet Fars News Agency. According to Fars, the IRGC stated that in retaliation for what it described as US interference in the Strait of Hormuz, it struck a US military equipment warehouse and a Patriot missile system at Kuwait’s Ali al-Salem Air Base. It also claimed to have heavily damaged US helicopters and drones at a separate base, in addition to a telecommunications tower. Earlier on Thursday morning, Kuwait’s army stated that it had confronted a wave of Iranian drone attacks. The IRGC also claimed that an oil tanker attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz caught on fire after hitting a mine in the waterway.
