BEIRUT, LEBANON – The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced a significant escalation of its military operations in the region, claiming responsibility for a drone strike against key military targets in Kuwait and Jordan. The attack, which took place on Tuesday, targeted several major military installations, resulting in significant damage and disruption to operations.
According to reports from the IRGC, the drone strike was launched against the Bouheira camp, which serves as the headquarters for Kuwait’s military forces. The camp, located in the southern part of the country, was said to have been hit by precision-guided munitions, resulting in substantial damage to the facility.
In addition to the Bouheira camp, the IRGC also claimed to have targeted the Al-Saleh airbase, which serves as a major hub for Kuwait’s air force. The airbase was said to have been hit by multiple drones, resulting in damage to the airport’s runways, hangars, and fuel depots. The IRGC also claimed to have targeted key infrastructure, including bridges, which were said to have been destroyed or severely damaged.
The IRGC also launched a drone strike against the Muwafiq Salty airbase, located in the northern part of Kuwait. The airbase, which serves as a major military logistics hub, was said to have been hit by precision-guided munitions, resulting in significant damage to the facility’s fuel depots and storage facilities.
Jordan was also targeted in the drone strike, with the IRGC claiming to have launched precision-guided munitions against several key military targets at the Al-Jafr military base. The base, which serves as a major hub for Jordan’s military forces, was said to have been hit, resulting in damage to the facility’s headquarters and infrastructure.
The drone strike marks a significant escalation of tensions in the region, and is likely to have significant implications for regional security. The IRGC’s attack is seen as a retaliation for the recent deployment of troops by Kuwait and Jordan to support the US-led coalition in the region.
“This is a clear message to our enemies that we will not hesitate to take action against any military target that threatens our national security,” said a senior IRGC official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “We will continue to defend our nation against any aggression, and we will not be intimidated by the threats of our enemies.”
The impact of the drone strike is still being assessed, and it remains to be seen how the regional powers will respond to the attack. However, one thing is clear: the situation in the Middle East has just become even more volatile.
