The IRGC says it has struck Israeli territory and three U.S. bases in Iraq and Kuwait in a fresh escalation on March 15, claiming that Harir airbase in Erbil and the Ali Al Salem and Camp Arifjan bases in Kuwait were destroyed by “powerful Iranian missiles and drones.” In another statement, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said their precision-strike drones are now identifying the “hiding places” of U.S. soldiers across the region and warned civilians to stay away from those sites, saying the 50th wave of Operation True Promise 4 targeted bases and radar systems from the UAE and Bahrain to Jordan and Kuwait. The claims come as Bahrain activates air raid sirens, Saudi Arabia reports more drone interceptions, and Kuwait says it has repeatedly shot down hostile UAVs, reflecting growing panic among U.S. Arab allies. Washington, meanwhile, has ordered nonemergency government staff and their families to leave Oman over security risks, even as Iraq remains a major flashpoint: Iran-aligned militias say they attacked U.S. sites in Erbil and Baghdad airport, just one day after a missile struck the U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad and damaged part of its defensive infrastructure. Even so, Iran continues to deny responsibility for some strikes on neighbouring countries, while Turkey says it remains in contact with Tehran as the war spills ever closer to NATO territory.
