During the eighth wave of its retaliatory Operation Nasr-2 (Victory-2) Operation, the IRGC Navy and Aerospace Force carried out a combined missile-and-drone operation this morning, the IRGC public relations department said in a statement Thursday.
The operation that targeted and destroyed the early-warning radar of the C-RAM system at Kuwait’s Ali al-Salem Airbase as well as a gathering point of the criminal soldiers of the terrorist US army, came in response to the enemy’s attacks last night on locations along the country's southern coastline and in southern cities, the statement said.
“Once again, we remind the honorable people of Kuwait that these crimes are being committed by the US using your soil against Muslim Iran,” it emphasized.
“We expect you, Muslim brothers and sisters, to cleanse your country of the aggressors and, by fulfilling your Islamic duty, preserve your historical honor and dignity.”
The United States has perpetrated numerous violations against Iranian territory since April 7, when US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral ceasefire in the latest bout of wholesale American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.
The violations continued even after Washington and Tehran signed a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding last month, whose first clause clearly mandates cessation of aggression on all fronts.
The US has also been trying to help vessels evade the maritime route designated by the Islamic Republic for safe and legal passage through the Strait of Hormuz, by seeking to escort trespassing vessels through an illegal passageway.
Iran's Armed Forces have staged uncompromising retaliation in the face of each instance of violation, including those in support of illegal vessel movement in the Strait of Hormuz.
