Iran destroys key American air base in Kuwait

One of the most important US military bases in the region, Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, has been completely destroyed as a result of Iranian strikes, as per the Telegram channel Turkey Online.

A large portion of the runway and support facilities have also been destroyed, and extensive smoke and fire are visible in several areas of the base.

Initial analysis by experts indicates that multiple precision ballistic missiles (likely from the Fatah or Khyber Shekan families) with direct hits caused this level of destruction.

This base, which hosted 18 F/A-135KC fighters and support units of the US Fifth Fleet, played a key role in US air operations in the Persian Gulf.

The channel Turkey Online adds that electricity has been cut off in several areas of Kuwait due to falling debris from Iranian missiles.
