Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that it reportedly carried out drone and missile attacks on US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. According to a statement carried by Iranian state media, per Al Jazeera, the strikes were launched in retaliation for US military attacks on Iranian ports and islands in the Strait of Hormuz.
The IRGC said it targeted the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and the Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait with drone strikes, and fired a long-range missile at an airbase in Azraq, Jordan. The IRGC claimed it attacked 21 US targets in total and said it destroyed four of them, including what it described as an F-35 fighter jet hangar at the Jordan base. The IRGC also claimed to have shot down a US MQ-9 drone over the Iranian city of Jam.
