US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Wednesday that an additional wave of Iranian drones targeting US forces in Kuwait had failed. In a statement on social media, CENTCOM said its air defenses successfully shot down multiple Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and no US personnel or assets were harmed. The announcement came as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been escalating drone and missile attacks against US targets in the Gulf region.
Denial of IRGC claims
In a separate statement, CENTCOM denied claims by the IRGC that it had struck the US 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain and a US air base in the region with missiles and drones. “The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims today that it struck the US Fifth Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain and a US air base in the region with missiles and drones. False,” CENTCOM said. The command reiterated that all Iranian attacks on American forces have failed, and that US forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against further aggression.
