Iran Releases Video of Missile and Drone Strikes on US Bases in Kuwait and Bahrain
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published official footage documenting their early morning missile and drone attack on key US military sites in the Persian Gulf. The targets included the Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. The video shows large-scale launches of precise Fateh-110 short-range ballistic missiles, accompanied by propaganda posters threatening US forces in the region. Background chants of "Allahu Akbar" are heard with each missile launch and impact.
The propaganda banners displayed in the footage warn the US government that the only outcome of war will be increased business for coffin and wheelchair manufacturers supplying American soldiers. The footage captures the dramatic nighttime missile launches from ground launchers, with fiery trails and explosions illuminating the sky, likely including missile interceptions. The Fateh-110 missile is a highly accurate ground-to-ground ballistic weapon widely used by Iran and its proxies, forming a core part of the IRGC's deterrence arsenal against Western bases.
This attack marks a significant escalation in the regional conflict, as both the Kuwait airbase and Bahrain naval command are critical hubs for US military operations in the Gulf. While Iran's video aims to showcase military strength and operational precision, international security agencies are closely monitoring the situation to assess the extent of damage and casualties resulting from the heavy missile barrage.
