Iran's military has claimed it launched a drone attack on a US military facility in Kuwait, targeting ammunition depots and logistical equipment at Camp Doha. The attack comes amid escalating exchanges between the two sides following the breakdown of a ceasefire agreement.
Iran's military has claimed it carried out a new wave of drone strikes against US military facilities in Kuwait, targeting Camp Doha in the western part of the country. The semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that Iranian forces used "a large number of attack drones" to strike ammunition depots and logistical equipment.
Escalating Conflict
The attack comes as tensions between the US and Iran continue to escalate, with both sides exchanging strikes despite a Pakistani-brokered memorandum of understanding signed in June. The US has carried out multiple waves of attacks on Iranian targets since the agreement broke down last week, while Tehran has responded with strikes on Gulf states hosting US military assets.
Regional Implications
Iran's military said the strikes targeted storage facilities and logistical equipment at the US Army's land forces command center. The conflict, which began with a joint US-Israeli offensive against Iran in February, has drawn Gulf nations into the crossfire, raising concerns about regional stability and energy security.
