Fateh-110 Missiles, Drone Swarms, and a Message: Iran Hits U.S. Gulf Bases and Posts the Video | WATCH

The IRGC released propaganda footage Sunday of a ballistic missile and drone assault on Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, claiming 8 targets destroyed.

IRGC threatens Trump

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps released official footage Sunday of what it says was a coordinated ballistic missile and drone assault on two of America's most critical military installations in the Gulf, accompanied by propaganda posters threatening U.S. soldiers with death and disability.

The IRGC's naval and aerospace forces launched the operation between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. local time, targeting Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters at Port Salman in Bahrain. The IRGC claimed to have destroyed eight U.S. military infrastructure targets in the strikes.

The video, distributed across Iranian state media, opens with propaganda posters carrying text in both English and Persian — warning that America's only achievement in this war will be increasing business for coffin manufacturers and wheelchair suppliers for its wounded soldiers. What follows is footage of nighttime launches: Fateh-110 precision ballistic missiles tearing off launchpads, trailing fire and smoke across the dark sky, with operatives shouting "Allahu Akbar" with each launch and detonation.

The IRGC described the operation as a "decisive response" to U.S. aggression, accusing Washington of attacking five Iranian coastal outposts earlier in the day in violation of the MOU ceasefire framework.

The chain of events that led to Sunday's strikes began last week. U.S. forces struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after Iran hit the Singapore-flagged cargo ship M/V Ever Lovely on June 25 with a one-way attack drone while it was exiting the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast. After those U.S. strikes, Iran still failed to honor the ceasefire, launching another drone that struck the Panama-flagged tanker M/T Kiku, carrying more than two million barrels of crude oil. A second round of U.S. strikes followed. Iran's overnight missile barrage was its answer to that second round.

A U.S. official told Reuters there have been no reported American casualties or major damage so far. Bahrain activated sirens and urged residents to move to the nearest safe location. Kuwait said its air defenses were actively intercepting hostile missile and drone threats.

Iran's military spokesperson warned that any future ceasefire violations will bring "all ongoing diplomatic processes to a complete halt," and declared that Iran now considers itself in charge of traffic arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz.

The MOU signed at Versailles is being shredded in real time, one tanker and one missile barrage at a time.
