Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for attacking 85 U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait. The attacks followed accusations by Iran that the United States violated a ceasefire with airstrikes on Iranian territory. The IRGC reportedly used ballistic missiles and drones in these strikes, targeting key U.S. installations such as the 5th Fleet headquarters and Ali Al Salem Air Base.
