Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for destroying a US HIMARS missile launcher stationed in Kuwait through what it described as a precision drone operation. According to a statement published by Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency, the IRGC said the destroyed systems were surface-to-surface missile launchers and pods allegedly prepared for attacks against Iran. The statement also claimed that three US officials were killed and several others injured in the strike.

The IRGC further asserted that the United States had used short-range HIMARS missiles in recent attacks on Iran’s southern coastal areas during joint US-Israel military operations that began in February. However, there has been no immediate comment from US or Kuwaiti authorities regarding Iran’s claims.

Earlier, Kuwait reported attacks on three northern border posts and an offshore drilling platform operated by Kuwait Oil Company, which caused infrastructure damage and injured one worker. Kuwait did not attribute responsibility for those incidents.
