Kuwait Orders Audit of Images Related to U.S. Base Attacks

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Kuwait‘s Ministry of Interior’s Cybercrime Department has issued an immediate alert, urging all residents and citizens to refrain from publishing, sharing, or distributing any content related to missiles, military operations, war, or security activities through their social media or electronic communication channels. The department emphasized that such dissemination violates Kuwaiti laws and that offenders will be held accountable.

This warning explicitly includes sharing videos, photographs, audio files, or any information that could be construed as undermining security, as alleged by Kuwait. This directive follows a prior announcement from the Public Relations department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which stated that following the aggression by the U.S. military against Sirik and Qeshm Island, enemy bases in the region were targeted by the Aerospace Force’s missiles.

The full statement from the IRGC Public Relations read: Four infringing oil tankers, instigated and guided by the invading U.S. military, intended to illegally exit the Strait of Hormuz without coordination and disregarding prior warnings from the IRGC Navy. After a warning, one of the oil tankers was targeted and stopped, while the other infringing vessels turned back. In response to this incident, U.S. drones struck a telecommunications mast in Qeshm and another mast in Sirik with two projectiles. In retaliation for the U.S. military’s aggression, two U.S. air bases in Kuwait, namely Ali Al Salem Air Base, and key facilities remaining in the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain were immediately targeted by ballistic missiles from the IRGC Aerospace Force.
