The Iranian army said it struck a Patriot battery, ammunition depot, and radar in Kuwait, and a US communications facility and radar in Bahrain using drones, in response to alleged US violations in southern Iran. Tehran blamed Israel and the US for the escalation and warned of a 'more powerful' response if attacks continue. The claims are unverified by independent sources.
This morning, the Iranian army issued a statement claiming drone strikes on US targets in Kuwait and Bahrain, explicitly blaming Israel and the US for the escalation. The statement, published at 08:42 Jerusalem, listed specific targets: a Patriot air defense system, ammunition depot, and radar facility in Kuwait, and a US communications facility and radar installation in Bahrain. Tehran warned of a 'more powerful' response if the US repeats its strikes.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning (08:10, 08:21), Iran had already claimed similar strikes on US installations across the Gulf in retaliation for overnight US strikes on over 100 Iranian targets. The new statement adds the accusation that Israel is coordinating with the US. The claims remain unverified by independent sources, and the US has not confirmed any damage or casualties.
