Early Monday, Iran announced it launched missiles and drones at US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, and at naval vessels, in retaliation for a new wave of US strikes on Iranian territory. The US military said it had launched the strikes overnight due to Iranian restrictions on freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranian retaliation follows a pattern of escalation in the Gulf. Earlier overnight, the US military announced a new wave of strikes (00:39). A subsequent report at 07:12 indicated Iran had launched missiles and drones at US facilities in six Gulf states, including Jordan and Bahrain.
The current report specifies that the Iranian retaliation targeted bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, as well as naval vessels. It also notes that Israel is not involved in the current phase of the confrontation.
Details of the strikes and any interceptions or damage remain unconfirmed. The Iranian claims have not been independently verified. The US has not yet commented on the reported Iranian attacks.
