The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) launched attacks targeting 85 US military sites across Bahrain and Kuwait on Wednesday. This military action came as a response to what Iran describes as a breach of ceasefire by the United States, according to FX Street.
The coordinated strikes highlight escalating tensions in the Gulf region, involving critical US military installations in key allied countries. The scale of the operation underscores the IRGC’s capability and intent to retaliate against perceived violations swiftly.
