IRGC hits US base in Kuwait, Amazon data center in Bahrain, warns people to avoid American sites

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says it carried out new attacks against US targets in Kuwait and Bahrain, warning people in countries hosting American troops to immediately move at least 500 meters away from locations where US forces are being accommodated.

In separate statements on Friday, the IRGC said the latest strikes were carried out during the 27th wave of Operation Nasr 2 in response to the ongoing US aggression against Iran.

According to the statement, Iranian forces launched advanced heavy attack drones against the US-run Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, destroying a large ammunition depot in successive explosions.

It said six large accommodation hangars used by personnel at the base were completely destroyed, three others sustained heavy damage, and numerous US troops were killed or wounded.

The statement also said that Washington has concealed the true scale of its battlefield losses during the five-month war, noting that hundreds of US troops have been killed and many more wounded.

It said the daily evacuation of injured American personnel by medical aircraft to a US hospital in Germany reflected those losses, and called on US media to investigate the actual casualty figures, military losses and war costs that had been hidden from the American public.

In a separate statement, the IRGC said it completed an earlier operation against an Amazon data center in Bahrain, describing it as a key intelligence facility supporting the US military. It said the remaining building at the site was destroyed during the latest wave of attacks.

The IRGC had previously targeted the facility with cruise missiles following a US attack on the under-construction civilian Dar Khoein nuclear facility.

The IRGC further added that its forces targeted three storage hangars containing ammunition and equipment at the US-run Camp Udairi in Kuwait, setting them ablaze and destroying them.

The forces also simultaneously struck the control tower of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, inflicting significant damage on it, added the statement.

The latest developments come as the US military has conducted air raids across the country for 13 consecutive nights, targeting civilian sites including bridges and water desalination plants.

The illegal US acts of aggression on Iran have killed 55 people and injured 645 others.

The renewed onslaught began after Washington abandoned its commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, which was meant to end hostilities following the US-Israeli war on Iran launched on Feb. 28. The ceasefire was accepted after 40 days because of Iran’s retaliatory operations and control over the Strait of Hormuz.

In a separate statement, the IRGC denounced the escalating US attacks on Iran which on Thursday targeted the Shalamcheh border crossing with Iraq, leading to the injury and martyrdom of pilgrims who are leaving Iran to attend mourning procession for Imam Hussein (AS) in Iraq.

The IRGC highlighted that many US military personnel had abandoned their bases and were operating from civilian buildings in countries hosting American forces.

"Since, if such crimes continue, our course of action will be retribution against the criminals, and because many officers and personnel of the invading US military have abandoned their bases out of fear of the fire of the Islamic fighters and are directing their operations from buildings inside cities, we warn all people in countries hosting US forces to immediately move at least 500 meters away from locations being used as the concealed accommodation of American military personnel so that they remain safe," reads the statement.

It also called on people to report the new locations to which the occupying US forces have been relocated through the official Telegram account of the IRGC Public Relations Office at @sepahnewsiradmin or via the 'Contact Us' section of the Sepah News website.
