According to a report, Iran said it attacked Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Syria, and Oman overnight. The claim expands on earlier statements that listed six countries without Iraq and Syria. The extent of damage and casualties is not yet confirmed.
Iran claimed to have struck seven Arab countries overnight, according to a report. The list includes Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Syria, and Oman. This expands on an earlier claim by Tehran at 11:23 Jerusalem time, in which Iran took responsibility for an overnight strike on US radar systems in Oman and said it had hit seven Arab countries without specifying all of them. The new report provides the full list, notably adding Iraq and Syria, which had not appeared in previous Iranian statements regarding the current round of retaliation. The earlier bulletin, published by The Zioneer at 11:23, noted that Iran officially claimed responsibility for the Al-Tanf attack in Syria as revenge for the killing of seven Iranian soldiers. The addition of Iraq and Syria suggests a broader theater of operations than previously acknowledged. The extent of damage and casualties from the reported strikes remains unconfirmed, and no independent verification has been provided. The Iranian campaign comes in response to US airstrikes on Iranian air defense and radar sites over recent days, as part of an escalating exchange between the two countries.
