<p>The Iranian Army announced on Friday that its drones struck fighter
jet hangars, satellite communications systems, and military equipment
warehouses at Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait, marking the 27th phase
of Operation Saeqah.</p>
<p>The Army's Public Relations Department said the operation was carried
out in retaliation for the "latest attacks by the terrorist US
military" on Iranian soil, including a brutal attack on a residential
home on Qeshm Island.</p>
<p>Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base, the statement noted, is central to US aerial
and surveillance operations in the region and functions as a key hub
for US military air support.</p>
<p>Iran's Army maintained that "crimes, sanctions, and threats will only
strengthen Iran's unity and cohesion in its sacred defense". It
asserted the scale and intensity of the strikes carried out jointly by
the Army and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps have made intercepting
Iranian drones and missiles increasingly difficult and costly for US
forces, even as Washington reinforces the region with its most advanced
air defense systems.</p>
<p>The statement added that Washington has resorted to strict media
censorship to keep the extent of the damage, casualties, and injuries
from these strikes out of public view.</p>
