Iran Claims Drone Strike on U.S.-Used Ahmad Al-Jaber Air Base
Published
Iranian military statements said drones targeted aircraft shelters, satellite communications systems and equipment warehouses at Ahmad Al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait on Friday. The statements described the base as a hub for U.S. air operations, surveillance and logistics. Tehran said the attack answered recent U.S. strikes on Iran and a strike on a residential house on Qeshm Island that Iranian reports said killed three relatives. U.S. Central Command and Kuwait had not immediately commented, leaving Iran's account of impacts unverified.

Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on which Iranian force issued the strike claim: Türkiye Today attributes it to the IRGC; Shafaq News, Arab News and Breaking the News attribute it to the Iranian Army. The remaining facts are uniform: Iran said drones targeted aircraft shelters, satellite communications systems and equipment storage at Ahmad Al-Jaber Air Base in retaliation for U.S. strikes on Iran.
