Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: According to this statement, two drone hangars and a fuel tank for US military aircraft and helicopters were set on fire and destroyed at this base.
According to the IRGC Public Relations Department, this operation was carried out in response to US attacks and in order to ensure national security and defend the Islamic Republic of Iran’s sovereignty. The statement continued: “The Muslim people of Kuwait should know that the punishment of the aggressor will continue until the plundering of the wealth and national resources of the Muslims is ended and the American occupiers and plunderers are expelled from the region.”
It is worth noting that Ali al-Salem Air Base is one of the most important US military bases in the Persian Gulf region and had previously been the target of missile and drone attacks several times during the Iran-Iraq War. Satellite images released from the base show significant damage to the base in previous attacks.
Hours earlier, the General Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had issued a statement announcing the complete destruction of three advanced F-35 fighter jets of the US military at the Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan in response to the aggressors’ attack on Qeshm.
