TL;DR

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it attacked two American military bases in Kuwait and a third base in Bahrain, according to a Reuters report citing the IRGC. The claim is unverified and follows an earlier IRGC statement about a broader strike on four bases in the two countries.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A Reuters report early Thursday morning cited Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as claiming it struck two American bases in Kuwait and an additional base in Bahrain. The report comes minutes after the IRGC itself, at 05:23 Jerusalem, claimed a joint missile and drone operation struck four American bases — Arefjan and Ali al-Salem in Kuwait, and Juffair and Sheikh Isa in Bahrain. The Reuters report describes a slightly different target set, listing two unspecified bases in Kuwait and one in Bahrain. The claims remain unverified by independent sources. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the IRGC has issued a series of similar claims over the past 24 hours regarding strikes on US military assets across the region, none of which have been independently confirmed. The US military has not commented on the latest report.
