Iran has launched a strike on a US military base in Kuwait, according to Iranian state media, following US attacks on Iranian military facilities in southern Iran.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted the base in response to US operations against radar and drone command sites in Goruk and Qeshm Island. US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated the strikes were conducted after Iran allegedly downed a US drone operating over international waters.

Key developments:

  • Iran said it struck a US air base in Kuwait following American military action.
  • CENTCOM reported targeting Iranian radar, air defence and drone-related facilities.
  • No US personnel were reported harmed during the operations.
  • Negotiations on extending the April ceasefire continue without a confirmed agreement.

Diplomatic discussions remain focused on the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s nuclear programme and potential sanctions relief, while wider regional tensions involving Israel, Lebanon and Hezbollah continue to complicate efforts toward a broader settlement.
