IRGC Launches Missile Strikes on U.S. Bases in Kuwait; Explosions Also Reported in Bahrain and Iraq
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed responsibility for missile strikes on U.S. military bases in Kuwait, saying the attacks were retaliation for an American strike on Qeshm Island, a strategically located island in the Strait of Hormuz.
Kuwait’s defense ministry confirmed it is under attack from drones and missiles; Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB said strikes hit both Camp Arifjan and Ali Al-Salem Airbase in at least two waves
Eight explosions reported in Bahrain, which is also under attack, according to various monitoring accounts
Explosions were reported near the village of Masan on the southern coast of Qeshm Island, Fars news reported
Iran also appears to be heavily striking Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups near Erbil in northern Iraq
Earlier, CENTCOM said U.S. forces fired a Hellfire missile into the engine room of a Botswana-flagged commercial tanker, the M/T Lexie, after its crew ignored warnings while attempting to reach Iran’s Kharg Island.
CENTCOM says it has now disabled six commercial vessels and redirected 122 since imposing a naval blockade of Iranian ports on April 13.
The IRGC warned: “The time of ‘strike and run’ has passed,” adding that any further aggression “will be met with a seismic, decisive, and crushing response.”

CENTCOM: “An additional wave of Iranian drones attempting to attack U.S. forces in Kuwait failed to impact intended targets tonight. U.S. Central Command air defenses successfully downed multiple drones and ensured no American personnel or assets were harmed.” https://t.co/xmTudXXaam

Booker: You keep telling us how we’re winning this war.
Rubio: The war is over.
Booker: The war is not over. The American people see how we're losing at the pump and with their costs, and yet this thing still hasn't been resolved. Every day he tweets out, oh, we've obliterated… pic.twitter.com/6fFibxsq4H
