US says no casualties reported in Bahrain and Kuwait attacks by Iran No American casualties, major impacts or damage to US facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait had been reported following Iranian attacks claimed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, though the situation remains fluid, a US official told Reuters. The official's comments came after the IRGC said it had targeted the US Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain in retaliation for recent American strikes on Iranian military sites. The latest escalation follows days of tit-for-tat attacks linked to tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, including strikes on commercial vessels, US attacks on Iranian targets and subsequent Iranian retaliation against US military assets in the Gulf.
