Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson Hossein Mohbi claimed on Wednesday that a US-made Patriot missile was responsible for the destruction of the passenger terminal building at Kuwait International Airport.

According to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, Mohbi said an investigation had been conducted into the attack on the airport terminal, claiming that the IRGC Air Force had not targeted the facility.

He said the findings showed that the destruction of the terminal was caused by a malfunction in US Patriot air defence systems, which failed to intercept Iranian missiles and instead fell onto the building.

Then you clearly don't know American history. If you want to talk about the largest sponsor of terrorism around the globe its been the US since its founding.

Just ask the Native Americans, Koreans, Africans, Mexicans, most South Americans, Afghans, Iranians, Vietnamese, Iraqis, Palestinians, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Japanese, Lebanese, Panamanians, Yemenis, and numerous others.

The US loves to say others are evil yet has spent 90% of its existence at war for territory and resources and never shows hesitancy to use overwhelming death and destruction to get what they want.

    Cold war was on. They fought the spread of Communism, and you have to understand that communism was an actual threat in the latter part of 1900s. Not like the complete joke it is now.

    Things don't always go brilliantly in wars.
