The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has officially claimed responsibility for a military strike targeting Kuwait. According to the IRGC, the operation is a direct retaliatory measure following U.S. military strikes that occurred on Thursday. While the IRGC characterizes the move as a response to U.S. aggression, the situation remains fluid as international observers monitor the potential for further escalation in the Gulf region.

There is currently limited information regarding the scale of the damage or potential casualties resulting from the strike on Kuwait. The IRGC has framed the attack as a necessary defensive response to the U.S. strikes, though the U.S. government has not yet provided a detailed public response to this specific claim. The lack of independent verification from the ground in Kuwait makes it difficult to determine the tactical success or the precise nature of the weaponry used in the attack. As of now, the international community is assessing the implications of this development, which marks a significant shift in the ongoing tensions between Iran, the United States, and regional Gulf states.
