Over the night of March 5 and 6, Iran launched one of its largest attacks so far against Kuwait, targeting Ali Al Salem Air Base which houses United States forces.
Ali Al Salem is considered one of the key airlift and logistics gateways for the U.S. military in the Middle East, hosting the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing. The air base is located in central Kuwait, roughly 15 kilometers west of the city of Al Jahra and approximately 37 kilometers from the border with Iraq.
Since the start of the American-Israeli war on Iran, the Islamic Republic has launched hundreds of missiles and drones at military facilities housing or supporting U.S. forces in neighboring countries. In Kuwait, Ali Al Salem was very much the main target.
The latest attack was, however, the largest so far, with videos posted online showing a massive fire at the air base after reports of multiple impacts.
Previous attacks had already caused significant damage to Ali Al Salem. Satellite images from Planet Labs released recently by the Institute for the Study of War revealed that multiple aircraft shelters and hangars at the air base were hit by Iranian strikes.
Other satellite images from Sentinel-2 and MizarVision show large fires at the air base earlier in the week, with more than 20 impacts.
Some of the impacts are in a section of the air base where an American-made MIM-104 Patriot long-range air defense system is known to be deployed.

More recent satellite images published by Iranian media also revealed that multiple domes at Ali Al Salem, possibly housing radars or satellite communication systems, were wiped out.

The targets of the latest attack were reportedly fuel and ammunition depots, which explains the massive fire seen in videos that came up later.
The U.S. has taken some of its worst losses in Kuwait since the start of the war. Three F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets were shot down in a friendly-fire incident close to Ali Al Salem, and six troops were killed in an Iranian strike that hit a fortified tactical operations center at the port of Shuaiba.
In a sign of the worsening security situation in Kuwait, the U.S. announced on March 5 that it was closing its embassy in the country, with following reports suggesting that all the staff will be evacuated.
The next day a Reuters report revealed that Kuwait began cutting production at some oil fields, possibly because it could no longer export. The decision came after the empty Bahamas-flagged tanker Sonangol Namibe was struck by an Iranian drone boat close to the country’s Mubarak Al-Kabeer, causing hull damage and a ballast leak but resulting in no crew injuries or major oil spill.
Iran has clearly dealt a large blow to Kuwait, and it can be even assessed that the U.S. military was pushed, or about to be pushed out from the country.

how much hebrew jizz squirted in your anuz yesterday? today you will lick mulatto peniz
buy u s bonds to build back
sell all amerikan shit to fund 🇷🇺
just as i expected iran 🇮🇷 still more than capable of keeping up these missile barrage, despite americas and the zios 2nd phase of airstrikes. 😂😂😂
i mean print out of thin air
i heard iran has discombobulated every single of the bahraini military bases and will completely discombobulate their oil infrastructure, the causeway to saudi arabia and then the shia people of bahrain will discombobulate the current treasonous monarchy. one step at a time and relentless. no rush.
iran stays strong.
the murican pigs show their cards early on. the rest is up to more intelligent people to finish the matter.
i guess this time trump made it! yes he wanted to take out iran to help israel and also damage china economy hitting the greatest china’s oil provider. but, going out attacking countries without u.n mandate, just be careful with the exceptionals, because no matter what happens after trump removal, they are still conducting the game from the shadows. us empire reputation will be damaged for generations or centuries if usa empire could not take all other adversaries, which is impossible.
trump is messianic, it’s the christianism apocalypse messias the westertn world of lackeys and vassals were asking for, the pale horse with the white rider (orange hair, racoon style haircut). but he is only the head of a system, and the system that expanded in western civilization it is very troubling to the rest of the world i think, so much corruption, decreases, vices are the virtues of the empire of western exceptionals. doesn’t look good for human as species.
yes, the us will be leaving. terribly, the rein of zio globalists is suicidal and kills prosperity wherever it goes. next it may attack shipping and attempt full control of all of the americas destruction effects all it touches. tucker is spot on as to the plan
in my opinion be very careful with tucker. he was a fox reporter (ie cia parrot agent). just like trump was dissed by the media and politicians years ago to get him “on-side” with the people and gain their trust, i think tucker (and elon musk) are being groomed in identical fashion. trumpy is a perfect example of how they deceive us only to install the one of the biggest zionist war pigs in history. don’t fall for the same con again.
whatever will the ukretards do now that their patron is militarily defecating itself to death in the gulf? and yet, krusty remains confident enough to promise ukretardish expertise to help their petro-dictatorship allies deal with the rascally persians. what is the goofiest identitarian rubbish? ukretardism, us exceptionalism or jewish supremacism? the race is on!
iran humiliates americunts–my peasants now required to swallow hebrew jizz clean jew toilets
the american people are never told of the 800 + military bases they are enslaved to fund. at great expense.
