IRGC Launches Retaliatory Missile and Drone Strike on US Airbase in Kuwait
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a United States airbase in Kuwait at approximately 4:50 AM local time on May 28, 2026. The IRGC claimed the strike was in retaliation for earlier American aerial attacks on Iranian military positions near Bandar Abbas. Kuwaiti military officials confirmed that their air defenses intercepted multiple hostile projectiles and drones, preventing casualties on the ground, though the incident signaled a major collapse of a fragile 60-day ceasefire.
