Iran’s military announced on Saturday that its navy had carried out a wave of drone attacks targeting Israel and US bases in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, as the regional conflict entered its second week.
“The Iranian Navy targeted American bases and occupied territories with a massive wave of drone attacks,” the army said in a statement reported by the official IRNA news agency. Targets reportedly included the UAE’s Al-Minhad base, a base in Kuwait, and a “strategic facility” in Israel.
Later, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) confirmed that Al-Dhafra air base in the UAE was also struck. “In this attack, the American air warfare centre, satellite communication centre, early warning radars, and fire control radars were hit,” the Guards said, according to Tasnim news agency.
The violence escalated after the United States and Israel conducted airstrikes on Iran on February 28, killing Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In retaliation, Iran has launched drone and missile strikes against Israel and US interests across the region.
