The statement included a video showing a drone being launched from a stand, but offered no evidence of an attack or any damage done at the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement claimed the alleged attack aimed to avenge the U.S. drone strike that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2020\/01\/03\/iran-leader-killed-in-strike-linked-to-years-of-attacks-killing-of-more-than-1000-us-troops-during-iraq-war\/\" target=\"_blank\">killed a prominent Iranian Revolution Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad in January 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The air base is located a few dozen kilometers (miles) from the Iraqi border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe misinformation falsely stated an Iranian militia group used [drones] to carry out an attack on base,\u201d the Air Force statement to The Associated Press said. \u201cNo such attack occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement suggests the U.S. believes that Al-Waretheen is likely an Iranian group, though it described itself as Iraqi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force added that the online claim \u201conly aims to deceive their audience in believing a lie\u201d and that the Air Force and Kuwait \u201ccontinue to project air power throughout the region without disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuwait, a small, oil-rich nation bordering Iraq and Saudi Arabia also near Iran, is considered a major non-NATO ally of the United States. Kuwait and the U.S. have had a close military partnership since America launched the 1991 Gulf War to expel Iraqi troops after Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein invaded the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some 13,500 American troops are stationed in Kuwait, which also hosts U.S. Army Central\u2019s forward headquarters. Those forces have supported the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and later operations against the Islamic State group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuwait did not immediately acknowledge the claimed attack. Its Information Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuwait\u2019s Al-Qabas newspaper, quoting anonymous \u201cresponsible\u201d sources, called the claims about an attack \u201ccompletely untrue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Satellite photos from Planet Labs PBC analyzed by the AP since Aug. 12 show no apparent damage at the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A series of militant groups that analysts believe have ties back to Iran have claimed attacks they say targeted U.S. troops in Iraq over recent years. However, those roadside bombings targeted Iraqi contractors supplying American forces in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claim also comes as what have been described as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/middle-east-iran-united-states-dubai-dd1734d96c757173779b5e752c9e8036\" target=\"_blank\">final round of negotiations continue between Iran and the
