Iran’s military announced on Saturday that its navy had carried out a series of drone strikes targeting Israel and US military bases in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, as the regional conflict entered its second week.

“The Iranian Navy targeted American bases and occupied territories with a massive wave of drone attacks,” the army said in a statement published by the official IRNA news agency.

The reported targets included the UAE’s Al-Minhad base, a facility in Kuwait, and a “strategic site” in Israel.

Later, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) stated that their forces also struck Al-Dhafra air base in the UAE. “In this operation, the American air warfare center, satellite communications hub, early warning radars, and fire control systems were hit,” the Guards said in a statement cited by Tasnim news agency.

The escalation follows airstrikes by the United States and Israel on Iran on February 28, which killed the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has since retaliated with drone and missile attacks against Israeli and American targets in the region.
