Tehran: The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has launched attacks on United States military positions located in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the IRGC Public Relations Office stated that the early warning radar of the C-RAM system at Kuwait's Ali Al-Salem base, as well as other US military positions, were hit in a series of combined attacks. This strategic move showcases the IRGC's capability to strike significant US military assets across the region.
In separate reports, the IRGC announced that Bahrain's Sheikh Isa Air Base had also been a target, with its air surveillance and control radar, along with the fuel pumping station for enemy fighter aircraft, being completely destroyed. This assault highlights the IRGC's coordinated efforts to dismantle US military infrastructure in the Gulf.
The escalation follows a US military operation on Wednesday night, where airbases in Jordan were used to launch strikes on several locations within Iran. One of the targeted sites was in proximity to a pediatric cancer hospital, leading to the evacuation of 121 young patients. The IRGC's attacks on US military maintenance ramps are seen as a direct response to these actions.
