Iran struck American military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain overnight in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes on Iran, according to N12 correspondent Asaf Rozentzweig. Air raid sirens were also reported in Qatar. The extent of damage and casualties is not yet confirmed.
Overnight, Iran launched a retaliatory strike against American military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, with air raid sirens now also reported in Qatar, according to N12 correspondent Asaf Rozentzweig. The attack was framed as a response to U.S. airstrikes on Iran earlier in the same night.
As The Zioneer reported at 00:35 Jerusalem, U.S. forces struck targets in Iran, including an observation tower in Chabahar. President Trump shared videos of those strikes. Then, at 04:14 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published initial reports of Iranian strikes on multiple Gulf states and Jordan, followed by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims of hitting infrastructure at four specific U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The IRGC later specified that two bases in Kuwait and one in Bahrain were targeted, and threatened further strikes if U.S. operations expand. The latest reports of air raid sirens in Qatar expand the geographic scope of the attack.
The overnight exchange is the latest in an ongoing confrontation between Tehran and Washington. Since early June, Iran has repeatedly attacked U.S. and allied positions in the Gulf in response to American strikes on Iranian air defense and radar sites, as The Zioneer reported on June 10 and June 28. The U.S. has conducted multiple waves of strikes on Iranian military infrastructure.
The extent of damage from this latest Iranian salvo, and whether any casualties occurred, has not yet been confirmed. No official statements from the U.S. military or Gulf governments have been released at this hour.
