IRGC Conducts Missile and Drone Strikes on US Bases in Bahrain and Kuwait Amid US-Iran Military Exchanges
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has conducted multiple waves of missile and drone strikes targeting U.S. military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait, including command centers, drone deployment ramps, and weapons storage, as part of 'Operation Nasr 2'. These attacks follow U.S. Central Command's (CENTCOM) precision strikes on Iranian military sites in southern Iran and a renewed naval blockade. Iran has warned of further retaliations if U.S. military actions continue. Claims from both sides remain unverified by independent sources, amid heightened regional tensions.
