According to CoinMeta, on July 31 local time, the Iranian military issued a statement announcing that in response to recent U.S. attacks on Iranian islands such as Geshem, the Iranian forces launched the 27th phase of the "Lightning" operation, which involved drone strikes. These strikes successfully targeted U.S. facilities at the Ahmad Jaber Air Base located within Kuwait. The statement mentioned that the targets included U.S. fighter jet hangars, satellite communication systems, and equipment warehouses. The Iranian military emphasized that this base not only undertakes a large number of aerial and reconnaissance missions for the U.S. forces but also serves as one of the important aerial logistics hubs for the U.S. military in the region.
