Iranian media and unverified reports claim that overnight between July 21-22, Iran launched ballistic missiles and drone strikes against multiple US military facilities across the region. Targets included the Muwaffaq al-Salti base in Jordan, where US casualties were reported, the Al-Azraq base, the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain, Ali Al-Salem base in Kuwait, and a base in Iraqi Kurdistan. Satellite imagery reportedly confirms damage at some sites. The reports are unverified by independent sources.
The overnight wave of attacks, reported by Iranian media and circulated on social media, marks one of the most extensive Iranian strikes on US military positions since the escalation began in June. According to the reports, Iran used a combination of ballistic missiles and drones to target multiple bases across four countries.
The Muwaffaq al-Salti base in Jordan was hit by ballistic missiles, with reports of US casualties including a captain named Angel S. Ramperasd. The Al-Azraq base and King Hussein Airport near Aqaba were also struck. In Bahrain, the Sheikh Isa base was targeted by Arash drones aimed at hangars and maintenance facilities. In Kuwait, the Ali Al-Salem base's radar systems were attacked, and satellite imagery reportedly confirmed the destruction of an AN/FPS-117 radar at the Ahmed Al-Jaber base on Bubiyan Island. The Al-Zour power station was also hit by a drone. In Iraq, a blast was reported at the headquarters of an anti-Iranian Kurdish organization in Sulaymaniyah.
The attacks come amid ongoing US-Iran tensions, with previous Iranian strikes on US bases in the region reported by The Zioneer in June and July. The reports remain unverified by independent sources, and US Central Command has not yet commented.
