Kuwait’s air defense system intercepted the strikes, said the army, adding that if sounds of explosions are heard, they are the result of interceptions.
Three US bases in Kuwait were reportedly targeted
The IRGC claimed to have targeted missile systems in Kuwait’s Camp Arifjan, a major US military base south of Kuwait City, with surface-to-surface missiles, Iranian state TV reported on Tuesday.
The IRGC further claimed it targeted US military facilities at Ahmad al-Jaber base in Kuwait, alongside an MQ-9 drone hangar at Ali al Salem air base.
The Revolutionary Guards also said Iran targeted US radar, communications, and satellite facilities in Kuwait through missile and drone attacks on Tuesday morning.
The military urged citizens to continue to adhere to security guidelines.
