Iran’s army said Saturday its navy had launched a wave of drone attacks targeting Israel as well as US bases in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, as the regional war raged into its second week. “The Iranian Navy targeted American bases and occupied territories with a massive wave of drone attacks,” the army said in a statement carried by the official Irna news agency. It said the targets included the UAE’s Al-Minhad base and another in Kuwait, as well as a “strategic facility” in Israel. War across the Middle East erupted after the United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran on February 28, killing the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has since responded with drone and missile attacks against Israel as well as US interests in the region.
