TEHRAN - Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said its forces fired ballistic missiles and drones at US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain early Sunday in retaliation for recent US strikes against five Iranian coastal posts.
In a statement on its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said its navy and aerospace force launched a joint retaliatory attack against the US Army's eight important infrastructure facilities at the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
It added that the United States had attacked five Iranian coastal posts early Sunday under the pretext of responding to the IRGC Navy's "confrontation with a violating ship."
The IRGC said from now on, vessels seeking unauthorized passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be dealt with more powerfully than in the past, and any potential aggression under any pretext would be met with a crushing response.
It warned that violating the ceasefire is in breach of a recently signed peace memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Iran and the United States on ending the war, and would lead to the complete cessation of all diplomatic processes.
