Iranian state media this morning published a detailed account of an overnight attack by the country's armed forces on US military facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. The report, carried by state outlets, claims that command centers, logistics warehouses, satellite communications facilities, Patriot air defense batteries, and the US Fifth Fleet installation in Bahrain were struck. It further alleges that US bases in Jordan were 'completely destroyed.' No independent confirmation has emerged from US, Kuwaiti, Bahraini, or Jordanian officials. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar unverified claims by Iranian state media regarding attacks on US bases in the region, which have not been corroborated. The claims come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US following recent airstrikes.
