The Iranian army said it struck a US communications system and radar site in Bahrain, as well as a Patriot system, ammunition depot, and radar in Kuwait, using drones overnight. The military warned of a 'more powerful' response if the US repeats its strikes. Reports also indicated air defense systems were activated in Doha, Qatar. The claims are unverified by independent sources.
The Iranian army released an official statement Sunday morning claiming that its forces struck a US Patriot air defense system, an ammunition depot, and a radar site in Kuwait, as well as a communications system and a radar site in Bahrain, using drones. The military said the attacks were in response to 'continued US criminal violations against areas in southern Iran.' It warned that if the strikes are repeated, Iran will respond 'with greater force.' The statement referred to the US military in Bahrain as 'the American army that kills children.'
Reports from the region indicated that air defense systems were activated in the Doha area of Qatar.
The claims come hours after The Zioneer reported that Iran had launched missile and drone strikes on US installations in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar following overnight US strikes on over 100 Iranian targets. The new statement provides more specific target designations and a formal warning, but the claims remain unverified by independent sources. No independent confirmation of damage or casualties has been reported.
