Iran’s army said it carried out missile and suicide-drone attacks on United States military facilities in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates early in the day, according to a report by Middle East Eye.
The Iranian military identified Ahmed Al Jaber Air Base in Kuwait as one of the locations struck. It said the operation targeted satellite communications infrastructure, warehouses used to store equipment and hangars containing American fighter aircraft.
The army also reported attacks on Al Minhad Air Base in the UAE. According to its account, US positions and radar systems at the facility were among the targets. The source material did not provide information about casualties or the extent of any damage at either base.
The announcement presented the operations in Kuwait and the UAE as part of the same wave of attacks, using both missiles and one-way attack drones. Iran’s army did not provide, in the available account, the number or types of missiles and drones launched, or specify how many weapons reached their intended targets.
There was no confirmation in the supplied report from US, Kuwaiti or Emirati authorities regarding the Iranian military’s claims. The account also did not include details about defensive responses, disruptions at the two air bases or the status of the American fighter jets said to have been housed in the targeted hangars.
Iran’s army further warned that its ground forces would respond to any additional American attack. The available source text did not set out the form such a response could take or provide further details about the warning.
The claims therefore remain limited to the Iranian army’s description of the strikes and their intended targets. Middle East Eye reported the announcement without providing independent verification of the attacks, damage assessments or information about casualties.
