Jennifer Kavanagh, a military analyst at Defense Priorities, told TAC that “official U.S. Army accounts provide clear evidence that the U.S. has launched PRSM missiles from HIMARS in either Kuwait or Bahrain.” Video verified by FRANCE 24 shows multiple missiles being fired by HIMARS systems from Kuwait on two occasions in March. An explosion in Bahrain that injured 32 people was originally blamed on Iran but has now been shown to have resulted from interceptors fired from a U.S.-operated Patriot air defense battery in the country.
Kavanagh says there are “thousands of troops at U.S. bases across the region… providing logistics, intelligence, and other support to U.S. forces.” Ballistic missiles and drones that struck a U.S. air base in Saudi Arabia revealed a strong U.S. presence there: At least 15 U.S. troops were injured, multiple refueling aircraft were damaged, and an E-3 AWACS Sentry aircraft was obliterated.
