IRGC launches major missile and drone assault targeting US forces in
Kuwait, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia, causing casualties.

Key Developments

   - IRGC Navy targeted US landing vessels in Kuwait, reportedly sinking
   three and damaging others in coordinated missile strikes.
   - Drone and missile attacks struck US personnel sites in Dubai and
   Bubiyan Island, with reported casualties and damage.
   - Iranian strikes also hit Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia,
   injuring multiple US soldiers and damaging aircraft.

Strike on Kuwait

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its naval
forces carried out a large-scale joint attack targeting US and
Israeli-linked positions in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, as part of
the 84th wave of Operation “True Promise 4.”

According to a statement issued by IRGC Public Relations, the operation
targeted Al-Shuyoukh Port in Kuwait and coastal areas near Dubai using a
combined barrage of ballistic and cruise missiles, totaling 380 projectiles.

The statement said six US landing craft of the “LCU” type were targeted at
the Kuwaiti port. Field reports cited by Iranian sources indicated that
three vessels sank following direct hits, while the remaining ships were
left burning after sustaining damage.

In parallel, the operation targeted gathering points of US drone unit
officers along the Gulf coast, as well as a hotel in Dubai, using suicide
drones. Iranian sources said the strikes were carried out with “high
precision” and resulted in direct hits on designated targets.

The IRGC statement said the operation caused the deaths of “a large number
of Americans,” in addition to the destruction of tactical naval assets.

The Guard’s naval forces said they are operating with “full control and
supervision,” and pledged continued responses to what it described as enemy
actions across the region.
Bubiyan Operation Details

Earlier, the spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters,
Ibrahim Zolfaghari, announced that IRGC naval forces had carried out a
separate “surprise and sudden” operation targeting US and Israeli-linked
positions on Bubiyan Island in Kuwait.

The attack involved a coordinated use of ballistic missiles and various
types of suicide drones, according to Iranian statements.

Zolfaghari said the strikes hit multiple gathering points, resulting in the
killing and wounding of “a large number” of US personnel. He added that
injured individuals were transferred to several hospitals, including
Al-Sabah, Mohammad Al-Ahmad, and Ali Al-Salem.

He stated that operations would continue against US forces across the
region “until they are completely destroyed and expelled,” according to the
official statement.
Saudi Base Hit

In a related development, the IRGC announced that it had also targeted
Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, also known as Al-Kharj Air Base, as
part of the same operational wave.

The Guard said the attack involved a barrage of missiles using both solid
and liquid fuel systems, in addition to drone strikes, targeting US aerial
refueling aircraft and logistical support infrastructure at the base.

According to the Wall Street Journal, US military refueling aircraft were
damaged in the strike.

A US official told Reuters that at least 12 American soldiers were injured
in the missile attack, including two in critical condition.
