The Iranian army claimed on Thursday morning that it launched a wave of suicide drones targeting U.S. military infrastructure across the Persian Gulf, including a Patriot missile defense system in Kuwait and fuel storage facilities in Bahrain. In an official statement, the Iranian military vowed to continue its campaign against American assets in the region, explicitly referring to the U.S. president as "insane."

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a coordinated wave of missiles and drones at U.S. military installations in Kuwait and Bahrain on Wednesday, hours after American forces struck dozens of Iranian targets overnight. While Tehran claims to have hit 85 significant sites, including the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters and Ali Al-Salem Air Base, regional authorities in Kuwait and Bahrain reported that their air defense systems successfully intercepted the majority of the incoming threats.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced Sunday that its naval and aerospace forces conducted a joint operation involving ballistic missiles and drones against eight U.S. military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain. The strikes, which reportedly occurred between 02:00 and 03:00 Jerusalem time, allegedly targeted high-profile installations including the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters at Salman Port in Bahrain and the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. These claims, framed as retaliation for U.S. strikes on Iranian coastal positions, remain unverified by independent sources or U.S. Central Command.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is the unified combatant command of the U.S. Department of Defense responsible for military operations in the Middle East. Since June 2026, it has transitioned from regional deterrence to a primary kinetic actor, leading a sustained air and naval campaign against the Iranian regime and the IRGC to secure international shipping and respond to regional aggression.

Jordan is a strategic Hashemite monarchy bordering Israel to the east, serving as a critical security buffer and a key partner in regional stability. In July 2026, the kingdom became a direct front in the kinetic confrontation between the United States and Iran, facing repeated missile strikes, airspace violations, and casualties at U.S. military installations while maintaining its 1994 peace treaty with Israel.
