Iran has said it targeted US military sites in six Arab countries following recent US strikes on its territory, while Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Jordan said they intercepted Iranian missiles and drones targeting their territories.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) said on Friday its Aerospace Force targeted a US military base in Kuwait as part of the 12th wave of its operation, according to the semi-official Mehr News Agency.
The IRGC said the targets included a missile defence detection and tracking radar, several weapons depots, two High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers and missiles stored for the system.
It claimed the strike triggered a large fire at the base.
The IRGC said the operation was carried out in response to recent US attacks that it claimed targeted civilian facilities, telecommunications infrastructure, railway workers and vehicles, causing casualties.
Kuwait
The Kuwaiti army said that several Kuwaiti soldiers were wounded after Iranian drones targeted multiple military facilities and bases in the country. It did not disclose the number of casualties or identify the targeted sites.
Earlier, the army said its air defence systems intercepted Iranian missiles and drones targeting the country.
Oman
In Oman, the IRGC said its navy targeted radar sites, including a US air-control radar, according to the ISNA news agency.
Citing an IRGC statement, ISNA reported that a naval control radar on the Salameh Rocks and a US air-control radar in Oman’s Ghanem region were targeted at dawn. The IRGC claimed both sites were destroyed.
Syria
In Syria, the IRGC said its Aerospace Force struck a US special operations command centre in the Al-Tanf region, according to Fars News Agency.
The IRGC claimed the strike destroyed a radar system and several special operations helicopters. It also claimed that several US troops were captured during the operation.
There was no immediate comment from Syrian authorities on the alleged attack.
