Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on June 28 its naval and air
forces used missiles and drones to strike Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait and
multiple US Fifth Fleet installations in Bahrain, calling the moves a response
to recent US actions. The IRGC said US fire at Sirik in southern Iran "will not
loosen our control" of the Strait, that retaliatory strikes will remind other
vessels what the transit rules are, and warned US regional bases will
"experience hell" in coming days.
