A dramatic video has emerged showing the moment Iranian missiles struck a United States military base in Kuwait. The incident occurred early Thursday morning as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a retaliatory strike against the American facility. According to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, the attack was a response to what Tehran described as “aggression” by the invading U.S. military against a location near Bandar Abbas Airport using aerial projectiles.
Timing and Details of the Strike
The IRGC confirmed that the American air base was hit at 4:50 a.m. local time, which corresponds to 0120 GMT. The strike followed U.S. attacks in southern Iran, prompting Tehran to take retaliatory action. The video footage captures the intensity of the missile impact, underscoring the escalating tensions between the two nations.
Background of the Conflict
This latest exchange of fire is part of a broader pattern of hostilities. The U.S. military had previously conducted strikes in Iran’s southern region, which Iran claims targeted an area near Bandar Abbas Airport using aerial projectiles. In response, the IRGC vowed to retaliate, leading to the attack on the Kuwaiti base.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides showing no signs of de-escalation. The international community is closely monitoring developments, as further confrontations could have significant implications for regional stability.
