Iran's Revolutionary Guard Claims Destruction of Key Radar Facilities in Kuwait

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran claimed on July 21 (local time), the eleventh day of its armed conflict with the United States, that it had struck and neutralized major radar facilities in Kuwait.

In a statement, the Revolutionary Guard said, "We have successfully destroyed radar networks deployed near the Ali Al Salem Air Base and on Bubiyan Island in Kuwait."

The Revolutionary Guard explained that this attack was an extension of the second phase of the "Nasr 2 Operation," describing it as "part of an ongoing operation to completely eliminate radar systems in the region."

The statement further claimed, "We attacked main early warning radars, tactical radar units, and another radar system on Bubiyan Island, rendering them inoperable."

Earlier, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense stated on X (formerly Twitter) on the afternoon of the same day that "air defense systems are intercepting missile and drone attacks carried out by the heinous act of Iranian aggression."
