The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed early Thursday that it conducted intensive drone strikes on three US military sites in Kuwait: Doha base, Ali al-Salem base, and Arifjan camp. The attack was reportedly carried out as part of the 23rd phase of an operation it calls 'Thunder.' The claim comes from a single source and has not been independently verified.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed early Thursday that it struck three US military installations in Kuwait with drones, marking a potential escalation. The sites named include Doha base, Ali al-Salem base, and Arifjan camp, which house US logistics and ammunition storage. The IRGC stated the attack was part of the 23rd phase of its 'Thunder' operation.
The claim has not been independently verified. The US military has not yet responded. The report originated from a single source, and its authenticity is unclear.
The claim comes amid a backdrop of heightened US-Iran tensions. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed 'powerful and clear' strikes on Iran. Israeli officials have also repeatedly warned of possible escalation. The IRGC's claim, if confirmed, would represent a significant direct attack on US forces.
