Several Persian Gulf states, including Kuwait, have been targeted in Iran’s retaliatory operations over the past few months following the US and Israeli aggression against Tehran launched in late February.

Despite a Pakistani-brokered ceasefire announced on April 8, Iran was forced to respond to repeated American aggressions in the Persian Gulf by targeting US bases in the region.

In one of the latest such violations, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said in a statement on Saturday that it has targeted two US air bases in Kuwait and the remaining facilities of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain in response to the latest US aggression.

The IRGC said that at 1:30 am, four violating oil tankers, instigated and guided by the aggressive American army and without coordination or attention to repeated warnings from the IRGC Navy, attempted to illegally exit the Strait of Hormuz.

Following warnings, one of the tankers was targeted and stopped, and the other violating vessels turned back, it said.

According to the statement, following this incident, at 2:30 am, American drones struck a telecommunications mast on Qeshm Island and another mast in Sirik with two projectiles.

It added that in response to the aggression of the American army, the IRGC’s Aerospace Force immediately launched ballistic missiles toward two US air bases in Kuwait, identifying one of them as Ali Al Salem, as well as important remaining facilities of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

The IRGC also warned the “aggressive and child-killing enemy that if such acts of villainy are repeated, the response will not be limited.”
