IRGC Reports Strikes on US Military Sites in Kuwait and Jordan as Fighting Continues

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it struck a group of US troops at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait early Thursday with a combined missile and drone assault, according to state media reports. The same sources stated that Kuwaiti early-warning radar systems at the base were also hit during the operation.

An Iranian military spokesperson later warned that fighting would spread to additional zones if the United States keeps striking Iranian targets, while stressing that Tehran holds no quarrel with other regional Islamic nations.

The statement followed remarks from a Khatam al-Anbiya Base official who said Iran would launch a major attack on all US facilities across the area should President Donald Trump carry out threats to destroy Iranian infrastructure.

The official stressed to Fars media that Iran will never permit any outside power to meddle in the Strait of Hormuz, calling the waterway an unbreakable boundary.

Missile sirens sounded overnight in Bahrain and Jordan, where local reports indicated eight Iranian projectiles were shot down. Iranian outlets added that communications gear and fuel tanks at Jordan's Azraq base were also struck.

Fifth Day of Exchanges Brings Drop in Hormuz Crossings

Wednesday marked the first full day after the United States reinstated its naval blockade on Iranian ports, and tracking data recorded fewer ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz.

Only seven vessels transited the strait that day, most using the Iranian lane, compared with 13 the day before, according to Kpler figures. Tensions rose sharply after Iran declared late Saturday that it had shut the waterway, which once handled roughly one-fifth of worldwide oil and gas shipments.
