Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it launched missiles at a U.S. base – used in previous nightly attacks on Iranian drone launch facilities. The U.S. military described these as "self-defense attacks." There are several U.S. air bases in Kuwait, along with other military facilities, but there were no reports of attacks on these facilities on May 28.

The Kuwaiti military had previously stated that its air defense system was attempting to intercept incoming flying objects, but did not specify their origin.

"At 8:17 p.m. ET on May 27, Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait, which was successfully intercepted by Kuwaiti forces," CENTCOM said in a social media post. "This serious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime occurred just hours after Tehran launched five one-way attack drones, posing a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz."

All drones were successfully intercepted by U.S. forces, and a sixth drone launch from an Iranian ground control location in Bandar Abbas was also thwarted. U.S. Central Command and our regional partners remain vigilant and cautious as we continue to protect our forces and interests from Iran's unwarranted actions."

The Gulf Cooperation Council condemned Iran's attacks on Kuwait as Tehran vowed retaliation for US attacks.

A preliminary agreement has been reached on a memorandum of understanding to extend the ceasefire for 60 days and begin negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program. The agreement is awaiting approval from US President Donald Trump.

Iran accused the United States on May 28 of continuing to violate the ceasefire. Tehran said its forces retaliated by targeting a U.S. base after the latest attack, which the Pentagon called "purely defensive," on an Iranian drone launch facility.

Tehran insists it is ready to continue fighting, but the Trump administration says Iran "is in desperate need of money." U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cited the Islamic Republic's efforts to charge fees to ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz as evidence. He warned other nations that paying Iran would violate U.S. sanctions.
