Iran launched ballistic missiles and UAVs at American military installations in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan early this morning, according to the Hezbollah-affiliated channel Abu Ali Express. The strikes hit the US Fifth Fleet HQ in Manama and an airbase in Bahrain in two waves, the Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait, and the Muwaffaq Salti airbase in Jordan — in retaliation for a US attack.
Shortly after 08:00 this morning, a second wave of Iranian strikes hit the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain's Manama and several regional airbases, according to the Hezbollah-affiliated channel Abu Ali Express — confirming a continuing sequence of attacks across the Gulf and Jordan.
As The Zioneer reported at 08:33 Jerusalem, a first wave earlier today targeted the same facilities. The current update narrows the reporting window: Abu Ali Express describes ballistic missile and UAV launches from northwestern Iran (near Zanjan, Tabriz, Urmia) hitting Manama and an airbase in Bahrain in two distinct waves, Kuwait's Ali Al Salem Air Base, and Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Air Base near al-Azraq. This follows claims from Iranian state media at 16:12 yesterday (version 3 in our thread) by the Khatam al-Anbiya command and IRGC of a wave against the same three countries, and earlier N12 reports (version 6) citing Israel's Channel 12 that the strikes came after a third consecutive US night attack.
Background reporting by The Zioneer (09:00 Jerusalem on Jun 10) detailed activation of air defenses in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan against earlier Iranian salvos, with Jordan reporting five intercepted missiles and no damage. A separate bulletin (11:01 Jerusalem on Jun 10) framed Iranian retaliatory strikes as a response to US raids on Iranian air defense and radar sites. US Central Command has not yet commented on this morning's second wave.
The desk notes an evolving pattern of overlapping claims from multiple Iranian channels — today's report emanating from Hezbollah-aligned media, not from official US or host-nation statements. No casualty or damage figures are available for this latest wave, and US or local official confirmation remains absent.
