July 15 (UPI) -- The United States attacked Iran on Wednesday, and Iran struck U.S. assets across the region into Thursday morning, marking the fifth straight day of strikes between the two nations as they fight over the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. Central Command launched two waves of attacks seeking to degrade Iran's ability to threaten vessels transiting the vital chokepoint between Iran and Oman.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said early Thursday that it was conducting missile and drone strikes targeting U.S. assets at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.
"Once again, we remind the honorable people of Kuwait that the United States is committing these crimes against Muslim Iran from your soil," the elite military unit responsible for protecting Iran's Islamic regime said in a statement.
