Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it killed US military personnel in a coordinated missile and drone attack on Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. In a statement, the IRGC said its ground forces targeted the headquarters and residential facilities of a US commander stationed at the base, and that several US service members were killed.

The IRGC also said the attack set fire to a drone hangar and a drone deployment ramp, and destroyed several drones it said had participated in attacks against Iran. It said the Kuwait strike was launched simultaneously with attacks on US bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Erbil.

Iran described the operation as retaliation for a US attack on a wedding ceremony in Sirik on Tuesday, which it said killed four people and injured more than 50, including a child among the dead. The IRGC told Kuwaitis that its operation targeted the US military presence rather than Kuwait’s people, and called for US forces to withdraw from the country. Earlier Tuesday night, US Central Command said it had struck multiple IRGC targets in Iran.
