An hour after the Kuwaiti military announced that the country's air defense systems were intercepting missile and drone attacks launched from Iran, the Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported that U.S. military bases in Kuwait came under Iranian attack.
Tasnim stated that the attacks were carried out using missiles and drones, though the agency provided no further details regarding the specific target locations or the extent of the damage resulting from the strikes.
As of the time of publication, the U.S. military command overseeing regional operations has not issued a statement confirming or denying the report.
Strict information controls enforced across several Persian Gulf countries are making it increasingly difficult for news outlets to gain direct access to the alleged attack sites.
Additionally, the U.S. has placed restrictions on the distribution of satellite imagery related to its military bases in the region.
On Wednesday, Tasnim published aerial images it claimed were taken following Iran's Tuesday attacks on U.S. bases in Jordan. The agency asserted that the images show the damage inflicted by the strikes, though there has been no independent verification of these claims.
