"Following the pre-dawn aggression today by the invading American army against a point on the outskirts of Bandar Abbas Airport using aerial projectiles, the American airbase, as the origin of the aggression, was targeted at 4:50 a.m.," the IRGC said in a statement.
It added that it was a "serious warning" to Washington and that any further US aggression would be met with a "more decisive" response.
While the Guards did not specify which base had been targeted, Kuwait's military said on Thursday that it was responding to "hostile missile and drone attacks." It is not clear whether the incident was related to Iran's claimed attack.
It comes after the US said it had carried out a series of "defensive strikes" against Iran, shooting down four one-way attack drones in the Strait of Hormuz and a ground control station in Bandar Abbas.
It marked the second such US strikes in three days.
