Iran's army said Thursday it launched drone strikes against Patriot air defense systems and fuel storage facilities at US military bases in Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain, as the Revolutionary Guards warned Washington that crushing responses would extend to other American installations if attacks continue.

Drone strikes target Gulf installations

Iran's army said Thursday it targeted US military infrastructure in Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain using "large numbers of various types of destructive drones," retaliating for recent American strikes on Iranian territory, according to state broadcaster IRIB. The attacks hit a Patriot air defense system in Kuwait, a satellite antenna used for early-warning in Qatar, and fuel storage facilities belonging to the US military in Bahrain, the army stated.

Revolutionary Guards issue warning

Earlier Thursday, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted infrastructure at US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, vowing not to "leave the US military's aggressions unanswered." The elite force warned Washington that "if it repeats its aggression, our crushing responses will be extended to other US bases in the region," according to the statement carried by IRIB.

The IRGC said its naval and aerospace forces conducted joint missile and drone operations against key facilities at Arifan and Ali al-Salem in Kuwait and Jafair and Sheikh Isa in Bahrain, describing the installations as "US-occupied colonial bases." The strikes came just hours after enemy attacks and targeted various locations across the country, the statement added.

US strikes prompt retaliation

The developments came after Iranian media reported a new wave of US strikes late Wednesday targeting several locations in southern and southeastern Iran. US Central Command said American forces had launched additional strikes to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the command's statement.
