Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed it carried out missile strikes against "enemy" positions in Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation for US attacks on Qeshm Island and Garuk, in southern Iran, as reported by the Iranian media.
In a statement, the IRGC said that "four rogue tankers—instigated and guided by the aggressor U.S. military—attempted to exit the Strait of Hormuz illegally, bypassing coordination and ignoring repeated warnings from the IRGC Navy." One vessel was targeted and intercepted, while the others were forced to retreat. Immediately after the incident, US drones were launched against a telecommunications hub on Qeshm Island and Sirik, the IRGC declared. In response to that attack, Iranian forces struck the US Ali Al-Salem air base in Kuwait and "key remaining facilities of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain."
The US Central Command (CENTCOM), on the other hand, accused Iran of launching drones toward the Strait of Hormuz, after which US forces responded by targeting coastal radars.
