WANA (Jul 21) – The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced in its Statement No. 37 that, as part of the ongoing operation it described as the “Dark Night” campaign against U.S. military assets, several American radar, air defense, and communications systems at Ahmad Al Jaber Air Base in Kuwait were struck and destroyed.

 

According to the IRGC’s Public Relations Office, the targets included an early warning radar, a missile defense radar system, an AN/FPS-117 radar, a Patriot air defense system, and a satellite communications system supporting the U.S. Army’s air defense network.

 

The statement said the operation was carried out with the support and prayers of the Iranian people during Muharram mourning ceremonies, adding that it had dealt a significant blow to U.S. radar and defensive capabilities in the region.

 

The IRGC also said that, following what it described as a “radar sweep” of the area, U.S. forces should prepare for more decisive and heavier waves of drone and missile strikes in the coming operations.
