Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it attacked a US military facility in the Kuwait area and struck a US vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement. The claims are unverified and based on a single Iranian source; no independent confirmation has been reported.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed early Tuesday that it struck a US military facility in the Kuwait area and attacked a US vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement cited by Iranian sources. The claims come amid heightened regional tensions and follow a series of similar IRGC assertions over the past week — including claims of strikes on US bases in Bahrain and Jordan, and attacks on commercial vessels in the strait area — all of which remain unverified by independent sources. The IRGC has repeatedly threatened further retaliation against US assets in the region if Iran is attacked. No details on the extent of damage, casualties, or the specific identity of the targeted facility or vessel have been reported. The US has not commented on the latest claims.
