Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for strikes against Bahrain and Kuwait, according to a report by the Tasnim news agency. The IRGC statement warned: "Any vessel that violates sovereignty will be dealt with more forcefully. Any aggression by the enemy will be met with a crushing response." The claims are unverified by independent sources.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) formally claimed responsibility for strikes against Bahrain and Kuwait, according to a report by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, which cited an IRGC statement. The statement warned that any vessel violating sovereignty would face greater force and that aggression by the enemy would be met with a crushing response. The specific theaters—Bahrain and Kuwait—align with earlier IRGC threats targeting US-allied Gulf states in retaliation for American strikes on Iranian infrastructure.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past several weeks, the IRGC has repeatedly claimed attacks on US positions in the Gulf and assets in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. These claims have largely remained unverified by independent or Western sources. The current report adds a layer of escalation: the IRGC is now explicitly asserting responsibility for strikes on two sovereign Gulf states. The nature of the strikes—whether naval, missile, or drone—and any damage or casualties have not been disclosed or confirmed.
The Tasnim report is the sole source for this claim; no confirmation from Bahrain or Kuwaiti officials, nor from US Central Command, has been published at this time.
