The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it struck American military positions in Bahrain and Kuwait and seized two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz overnight, as part of its retaliation for the 10th consecutive night of U.S. strikes on Iran. Israeli media outlet i24NEWS reported that missiles were fired at American targets and drones were intercepted in Kuwait.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement early Tuesday morning claiming responsibility for attacks on American military positions in Bahrain and Kuwait and the seizure of two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The statement comes as the U.S. military completed its 10th consecutive night of strikes against IRGC infrastructure in Iran, as The Zioneer reported earlier. Israeli media outlet i24NEWS reported that missiles were fired at American targets and that drones were intercepted in Kuwait during the same night. The full extent of the attacks, including any damage or casualties on the American side, has not been independently verified. The IRGC's claim, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, which has seen repeated retaliatory strikes since the breakdown of the ceasefire.
