Iran Claims Retaliation Against US Base; Air Raid Sirens Sound in Kuwait

Following US strikes on Iranian military facilities, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps declared on the 1st that it had targeted a US base in retaliation, though the location was not specified. In Kuwait, which hosts major US bases, air raid sirens sounded across the country. US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated on X that the strikes were in response to Iran shooting down a US MQ-1 drone in international airspace. CENTCOM reported destroying Iranian air defense systems, ground control stations, and two one-way attack drones. While the two nations have been in ceasefire talks since early April, sporadic clashes continue.
