The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its naval and aerospace forces carried out a joint missile and drone operation between 02:00 and 03:00 local time, targeting eight U.S. sites, including Kuwait's Ali Al‑Salem Air Base and the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. The statement said the attacks were a response to what Tehran described as an earlier aggression against five Iranian coastal sites. The IRGC warned that any further violations of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding on Strait of Hormuz traffic would be met with stronger force and could halt ongoing negotiations.
