IRGC Says It Struck U.S. Military Bases in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain

Overview

• Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it launched coordinated missile and drone strikes on U.S. facilities in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain and reported hitting 18 targets in two waves.
• The IRGC’s account named al‑Azraq in Jordan and Ali Al Salem and Ahmad al‑Jaber in Kuwait plus Sheikh Isa in Bahrain and said hangars and command centers were struck while noting significant damage; these claims have not been independently verified.
• The UAE and Saudi Arabia formally condemned the attacks and urged de‑escalation, citing violations of the sovereignty and security of Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
• Iran framed the strikes as direct retaliation for U.S. attacks on sites inside Iran and warned that further operations would follow unless Washington halted what Tehran called malicious acts.
• The reported strikes target key bases used for U.S. and coalition operations, raising risks to regional force posture and civilian safety and making official U.S. confirmation and any next diplomatic or military response critical to watch.
