IRGC Launches Retaliatory Attack on US Air Base in Kuwait
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a retaliatory missile and drone attack against a U.S.-operated air base in Kuwait on June 1, 2026. This strike was a direct response to the U.S. bombardment of Iranian coastal military positions earlier that day. Kuwaiti authorities activated their air defense systems and condemned the attack, stating it undermined regional stability. While the IRGC claimed success, U.S. officials are assessing damage to the facility, with no immediate reports of personnel casualties.
