US used Kuwait’s Bubiyan Island to target Iran during recent war: Report

A new report says the United States used Kuwait’s Bubiyan Island in the Persian Gulf to target Iran during the recent illegal American-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

Citing an informed source, Iran's Arabic-language news channel al-Alam reported that the terrorist US military targeted Iran with the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) missiles, already stationed at Bubiyan Island using Kuwaiti coast guard, as well as surveillance and logistics facilities.

The anti-Iran attack from the Bubiyan Island took place on March 24, the report added.

It also said footage released by the Americans themselves show that in addition to the Arifjan and Buehring camps in Kuwait, the US military launched attacks on Iranian territory from outside the bases and even from residential areas.

The report comes as Kuwait on Wednesday unlawfully attacked an Iranian boat and detained four Iranian citizens on board near a Persian Gulf island used by the US to attack Iran.

In an X post, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the illegal attack as “a clear attempt to sow discord” in a region already on edge because of the US-Israeli military assault against Iran.

Iran reserves right to respond to Kuwait’s ‘unlawful’ boat attack, arrest of 4 citizens: FM

Araghchi says Iran reserves the right to respond to Kuwait’s unlawful attack on a boat used by Iranian nationals.

Tehran reserves the right to respond to Kuwait’s attack on the Iranian boat, he emphasized, demanding the immediate release of the four Iranian nationals detained during the incident.

The unjustified US-Israeli aggression on Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders.

The Persian Gulf littoral states, including Kuwait, allowed the aggressor regimes to use their soil and airspace to launch anti-Iran attacks.

The Iranian armed forces unleashed 100 waves of successful retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic American and Israeli targets throughout the region.

On April 8, forty days into the war, an Islamabad-brokered temporary ceasefire went into effect. However, the first round of Tehran-Washington negotiations failed to reach an agreement.

US President Donald Trump unilaterally extended the truce after its expiry, but imposed an inhumane “naval blockade” of Iran.

Tehran has refrained from committing to a second round of talks, with authorities citing Washington’s excessive demands and piracy against Iranian ships as two main impediments to concluding the war.
