[Iranian Revolutionary Guard Strikes US Base in Kuwait, Claims Hormuz Oil and Gas Exports Completely Halted] ⑴ The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement on the morning of July 17th, claiming that the US military had once again committed war crimes, attacking Iranian civilian facilities and causing multiple civilian casualties. In response, the IRGC's Aerospace Force struck a US military base in Kuwait, targeting "a radar, multiple weapons depots, two HIMARS high-mobility rocket systems, and some ammunition," stating that the base was "engulfed in flames." ⑵ The IRGC statement indicated that US misconduct in the region has led to a significant decline in oil and gas production and has completely halted oil and gas exports through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's reciprocal retaliatory actions are continuing. The previous day, Iran had declared complete control of the Strait of Hormuz and stated that if the US continues its hostile actions, there will be no oil or gas exports from the region.
