Amid the fresh exchange of salvos in West Asia, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned countries hosting facilities linked to the United States military of a “corresponding response“. The IRGC urged such nations to enable civil defence measures, alleging that their territories were being used to attack Tehran.
“Countries hosting U.S. aggressor forces and providing their territory for attacks on Iran must be prepared for a response proportional to the U.S. attacks on their own soil", the IRGC said.
The warning came as the IRGC targeted a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait Saturday morning, damaging one of the key sources of drinking water in the country, the Associated Press reported.
The latest strike sparked a fire and damaged components at the power station. Two electricity and desalination facilities have been targeted within 24 hours. Kuwaiti authorities were assessing the damage caused by the attacks at the time of filing this report.
