The Iranian Army has announced a large-scale strike on US military bases in Kuwait, with satellite imagery indicating precise hits on key facilities inside the American-run Arifjan base.
Iran’s Army Ground Force launched a heavy wave of loitering drones against US military positions in Kuwait over the past hours, according to a statement released by the force on Friday.
The statement said various types of “destructive drones” targeted American bases in the Persian Gulf state in what appeared to be one of the most extensive operations against US military infrastructure since the start of the war.
Local media in Kuwait reported the sound of air raid sirens followed by repeated explosions, suggesting that several strikes landed across areas hosting American forces.
This is not the first time that the US bases have been hit.
Indications of the previous operations’ impact emerged from the latest satellite imagery, which shows accurate strikes by Iranian missiles and drones inside the US-run Arifjan base in Kuwait.
The images indicate that several facilities within the compound were destroyed, particularly buildings believed to be linked to communications and operational coordination.
The apparent precision of the strikes underscores the reach and targeting capability of Iran’s expanding drone arsenal.
The latest operation comes amid Iran's retaliatory operations in response to the unprovoked US-Israeli aggression against the country on February 28.
The strikes resulted in the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and more than 1,300 civilians, including women, children and senior military commanders.
Tehran responded swiftly, launching successive waves of missile and drone strikes against Israeli-occupied territories as well as US military installations across the region, including bases in Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Iranian officials have repeatedly stressed that the war was imposed on the country and that its military response constitutes a legitimate act of self-defense.
They have also emphasized that Iran harbors no hostility toward neighboring states, maintaining that its strikes are directed solely at American military assets stationed on their soil.
At the same time, Iranian authorities have warned regional governments to remain vigilant against possible false-flag operations orchestrated by Israel or the United States, which they say could be used to drag Arab states into the conflict.
