Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims it destroys eight U.S. military infrastructures in Kuwait and Bahrain, citing a response to what it describes as a second round of U.S. strikes. The IRGC says the actions target sites including Ali Al Salem Air Base and facilities it identifies as the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters. In its statement, the IRGC also alleges that U.S. forces attacked five Iranian coastal positions earlier on Sunday, and it accuses Washington of violating a ceasefire agreement.
Separately, the Deccan Chronicle reports that the IRGC frames the strikes as retaliation to the second U.S. strike and adds that Iran threatens to halt talks aimed at ending the war. Across the reports, the common elements are Iran’s claim of damage to multiple U.S.-linked locations across Kuwait and Bahrain, the IRGC’s reference to earlier U.S. attacks on Iranian coastal positions, and the assertion that the latest moves come amid, or in response to, ceasefire and diplomacy efforts. The articles do not provide independently verified details from U.S. or other officials in the excerpts provided.
