According to a security analyst, the United States attacked several bases of Iranian special forces over the past few nights. The analyst said the strikes aimed to disrupt units that would serve as a rapid response force if the US president decides to launch a ground operation in Iran, and to prevent those forces from quickly reaching Kuwait or nearby islands. The report is a single-source claim and has not been independently verified.
