Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed responsibility for an attack on Al-Adiri camp in Kuwait, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing standoff between Tehran and Washington in the Gulf region.

The IRGC described the operation as the 23rd phase of what it calls ‘Operation Lightning,’ a declared campaign of retaliatory strikes against U.S. military assets in the region.
