Iran's Embassy in Kenya has publicly challenged U.S. claims that Iranian missile attacks were fully intercepted, posting before-and-after images that it says show damage to American military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain.
Alleged Destruction of Radar Systems
According to Iran, the strikes destroyed key early-warning radar systems, including the ASR-1000 radar at Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the TPS-59 radar in Bahrain. The embassy accompanied the images with a stinging message aimed at Washington's claims of success, declaring: 'Keep lying, boys. The only thing getting obliterated is your credibility.'
Escalating Tensions
This development comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with both sides exchanging accusations over military actions in the region. The release of these images is seen as an attempt by Iran to bolster its narrative of military capability and counter U.S. assertions of effective defense.
The U.S. has not yet officially responded to the Iranian claims, but previous statements from American officials insisted that missile attacks were largely intercepted with minimal damage.
