The US military said it launched waves of sustained attacks on Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) targets along the southern Iranian coast on Tuesday, leading to Tehran launching missile and drone strikes on "military installations" in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, while threatening a wider response.
Tehran's semi-official media said its troops fired missiles and drones in response to US strikes, and explosions were reported over the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba while sirens sounded in Mafraq.
