Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it struck 85 American military targets in Bahrain and Kuwait and shot down a US Army drone, according to a report by Israeli news outlet N12. The claims are unverified and echo earlier IRGC statements that US officials have denied.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed early Wednesday that it struck 85 American military targets in Bahrain and Kuwait and shot down a US Army drone, according to Israeli news outlet N12. The report, published at 06:48 Jerusalem, cites the IRGC's own statement.
Earlier this morning, The Zioneer reported that the IRGC claimed to have shot down a US drone in southern Iran (06:34) and subsequently claimed to have struck 85 American military sites, including the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain and Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, and downed an MQ-9 drone (06:45). The N12 report appears to cover the same IRGC statement, now reaching a Hebrew-language audience.
The IRGC has made similar assertions in June, which were denied by US officials. The New York Times quoted a US official calling the June claims 'completely untrue.' No independent verification of the current claims is available, and the US military has not yet commented on this morning's statements.
