The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced this morning that its forces struck American military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation for US strikes, causing damage and casualties, according to a statement cited by Iranian media and Telegram channels.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officially claimed responsibility Thursday morning for its retaliatory strikes on American military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, asserting that the attacks caused damage and casualties. The statement, published by the IRGC and cited by the source '301 The Arab World,' comes as the latest development in a rapidly escalating exchange of strikes between the US and Iran. The claim follows hours of unverified assertions from the IRGC about the scope and impact of its overnight operations.
The sequence of events began early Thursday, when The Zioneer reported at 00:26 Jerusalem that the US had struck an IRGC ground forces base in Zahedan. At 00:32, IRGC-affiliated sources reported the start of the Iranian response. By 04:14, a series of claims and reports emerged: initial reports that Iran had struck multiple Gulf states and Jordan, followed by successive IRGC statements specifying targets — first four bases, then three, then two in Kuwait and one in Bahrain — each accompanied by threats of further strikes if the US escalated. At 04:14, journalist Asaf Rosenzweig reported additional Iranian launches toward Bahrain, and air raid sirens were reported in Qatar. At 05:54, The Zioneer confirmed that Iran had indeed struck US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, with sirens in Qatar.
The IRGC's latest assertion that its attacks caused damage and casualties remains unverified. No independent confirmation, specific numbers of casualties, or details of the extent of damage have been released. The account relies on a single source — the IRGC's own statement — and the situation continues to develop.
