Iran announced early Wednesday that it struck targets in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain in retaliation, according to a statement from Iranian officials. The announcement, carried by local media, did not specify the nature of the strikes or what they were retaliating for. Independent verification of the attacks is not yet available.
The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple Iranian attacks on these countries over the past month, including intercepts by Bahraini forces and strikes on Jordan. The regional context includes ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions, with U.S. airstrikes on Iranian air defense sites reported earlier this week.
What remains open: the extent of the strikes, any casualties, and whether the affected countries or the U.S. confirm the attacks.
