Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles and rockets across the region early Friday, targeting US military facilities in Jordan and Kuwait, and striking Gulf states including Bahrain, according to reports. Sirens sounded in Kuwait and Bahrain, and explosions were reported in eastern Jordan. The attacks appear to be part of a coordinated Iranian retaliation against American and Israeli operations.
The latest reports indicate a major Iranian offensive against US and allied targets across the Middle East. According to the single source, Iran launched ballistic missiles aimed at American bases in Jordan and Kuwait, and fired 'Heidari' rockets at Gulf states. Sirens were reported in Kuwait and Bahrain, and strong explosions shook eastern Jordan. The source also notes that air defense systems in Bahrain failed to intercept an Iranian missile.
This event follows a pattern of Iranian retaliation in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, Iran previously struck US bases in the Gulf in response to American and Israeli airstrikes. The current barrage appears to be one of the most extensive, covering multiple countries simultaneously.
The reports remain unverified by independent sources, and details on casualties or damage are not yet available.
