According to the Hezbollah-affiliated channel Abu Ali Express, Iran has launched attacks on American targets in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the city of Arbil in Iraqi Kurdistan. The report states that the strikes are in retaliation for American airstrikes, though it does not specify which particular U.S. operations triggered the response. The same report notes that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Israel were not targeted, suggesting Tehran is calibrating its retaliation to focus on U.S. assets while avoiding drawing in additional regional actors.
The Zioneer has previously covered a series of escalating U.S.-Iran exchanges, including U.S. strikes on Iranian air defense and radar sites and subsequent Iranian retaliatory attacks on Gulf states and Jordan over the past month. Those earlier reports, based on multiple sources, described a cycle of strikes that has expanded in geographic scope. The current report, from a single source aligned with Hezbollah, has not yet been independently corroborated. Casualty figures and damage assessments are not available.
