Iran Claims to Have Disabled US Radar Systems in Kuwait

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims to have attacked and disabled several American radar systems in Kuwait as part of the latest phase of the country’s offensive.

The IRGC made the announcement in a statement released on Tuesday (21 July) local time, describing the attack as the 24th wave of Operation Nasr-2 (Victory 2).

According to the statement, the attack was carried out “as a continuation of efforts to clear the region of radar systems” serving the interests of the United States.

As reported by the Iranian media outlet Press TV on Wednesday (22 July 2026), the IRGC said its forces targeted “early-warning radar, tactical radar complexes around Ali al-Salem Air Base, and other radar systems on Bubiyan Island, Kuwait.”

It added that the attack had rendered the radar systems inoperable.

The IRGC further asserted that “operations to punish the aggressor are continuing.”

The latest strike forms part of the IRGC’s increased focus on regional radar systems that enable the United States to intercept Iran’s retaliatory attacks.

Tensions in the Middle East have flared once again after US military forces resumed a series of attacks on Iran from 8 July. US Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed the strikes were in response to Iran’s actions against commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian forces subsequently retaliated by targeting US air bases in several Middle Eastern countries. On 9 July, US President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire previously agreed with Iran was no longer in effect.
