The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced that its latest military action targeted a location in Kuwait, reportedly involving American soldiers. According to the IRGC, this strike was part of an ongoing series of retaliatory attacks against the United States following recent tensions in the region. The attack allegedly destroyed a radar system at the Ali Al-Salem Air Base, a strategic site for U.S. and coalition air operations. This event marks a significant escalation in the conflict, which has been characterized by a series of reciprocal strikes between Iran and the United States since the collapse of a ceasefire agreement.
