But Iran already hit US bases in Kuwait so many times. I doubt US would be keeping anything in those bases till now?

In other words, is there any US military assets left in Kuwait yet?

As long as tensions are high, US would keep its assets away from nearby countries. Fighter jets taking off from Kuwaiti airbase or airport is a massive risk for the US. They can take off from Israel or Jordan and with mid air refueling can easily do their operations with much less risk.

The argument that Iran is hitting Kuwait because its being used to target Iran was valid during the first phase of war. Why would US use Kuwait now? It do not make any sense.

One strategy of Iran could be that hitting Kuwait, Bahrain are easier targets and that may not escalate things rapidly.

The U.S. is still uses these bases in Kuwait and Bahrain to attack Iran

The attack prior to this attack, destroy two MQ series drones, so USA assets are on the ground.

According to @Lulldapull those bases were decimated by Iran long ago early in the battle.

So @Lulldapull whats your theory now ?

IRGC: The era of "hit and run" is over, and the forces of aggression must bear the dire consequences of their ignorance and their uncalculated adventures.

It is obvious that Iran is willing to take whatever pain to keep its sovereignty and apparently also confident of its abilities to cause significant pain to the attackers as well as able to ride out the huge economic pain for at least next few months. Otherwise, Iran will become another Syria or Lebanon: A 'lawn' to be periodically 'mowed'.

The bases took a lot of damage but they are still being used

I will be honest. If I would be the US, I would not keep MQ drones or any other expensive / important asset so close to Iran.

I'd keep those at Jordan.

In this attack? If confirmed, then it makes all sense.

No missiles were fired at Saudi Arabia.
Iran is leading Saudi Arabia and Qatar out of this so that it has some allies on the other side.
The fact it’s left UAE also alone is surprising.

Per some Pakistani media, UAE has backpaddled at least a bit on its letting the Israelis have more presence in UAE against Iran.

At this point we can even consider the debris from missiles as MIRV & MaRVs based on CENTCOM intelligence report

I believe like menthol sahbs hinted that US still uses them for dispersal. Areas of AL-Dhafra in UAE are still operational. Lots of HAS's which Iran needs to take out and demolish where aircraft are stored.

The US flies in fresh units in from Israel/ AL-Muwafuqq bin Salty base and forward deploys them as needed.

Remember the Shahid-136 which took the face off of that CH-47 in Kuwait AL-Salim few months ago?
