Iran Launches Airstrikes on Kuwait, Warns US 'Shields' Will Go Up in Flames

Kuwait announced that Iran launched a drone airstrike on the country on the 1st local time.

Spokesperson Saud Abdulaziz Al-Atwan of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense stated, "We detected and intercepted enemy drones within Kuwaiti airspace early this morning," explaining that Iran targeted government facilities in northern Kuwait and vehicles on Bubiyan Island.

Al-Atwan added that while several facilities sustained damage, there were no casualties.

Amid the recent reignition of military clashes with the United States, Iran has previously struck the Al Salem U.S. military base stationed in Kuwait multiple times.

According to Iran's state-run IRNA news agency, Commander Ali Abdollahi of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which commands the Iranian armed forces jointly, claimed in a statement, "Islamic nations should sharply monitor America's criminal acts and reconsider their cooperative and alliance relations with the U.S."

He further warned, "Otherwise, countries that become the shields for the criminal and aggressive United States will go up in flames of war."

Abdollahi criticized, "The United States is using the capital, wealth, key infrastructure, and strategic resources of Islamic nations in the region as shields to protect U.S. forces, while simultaneously strengthening the security of the Zionist regime, which commits child murder and terrorism."

Blaming the U.S. for Iran's airstrikes on neighboring countries, Abdollahi stated, "While U.S. forces and the Zionist regime commit war, bloodshed, and evil from behind the fences of Islamic nations, they are passing the price on to regional governments."
