Iran's IRGC Launches Attacks on US Bases in Kuwait, Jordan, and Iraq

On September 2, 2026, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched attacks on US military installations in Kuwait, Jordan, and Iraq. The strikes included drone attacks and missile strikes, resulting in fires at some locations. The US military confirmed damage to facilities, while Iran claimed success in targeting US positions.

The IRGC claimed to have struck US facilities in Kuwait, including a commander’s position and a Marines camp in Jordan. The attacks reportedly involved drone strikes and missile fire, with Kuwait reporting that a fire resulting from the attacks was under control. The US military confirmed damage to bases but did not specify the extent of casualties or the number of drones used. Sources diverge on the specifics of the attacks. Tehran asserts that the IRGC targeted US positions in Kuwait, Jordan, and Iraq, while the US has not publicly detailed the nature or scale of the strikes. The Statesman reported that Iran’s IRGC attacked US bases in all three countries, but no other outlet provided more granular details on the locations or number of attacks. The attacks have heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with potential implications for regional stability. The US has not yet issued a formal response, but the situation is being closely monitored by international observers.
