IRAN'S armed forces said Tuesday that they had carried out fresh retaliatory missile and drone strikes against U.S. bases, assets and infrastructure in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan following another round of U.S. attacks on Iran.
Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said in statements carried by its official news outlet Sepah News that its aerospace forces targeted U.S. air defense systems, radar facilities, communications infrastructure and other military assets in Bahrain and Kuwait, as well as U.S. military facilities in Jordan.
The IRGC said the attacks were carried out in retaliation for recent U.S. strikes on Iran and were intended to pave the way for broader missile and drone operations against U.S. military targets in the region.
Early on Tuesday, the U.S. Central Command said its forces had completed another round of strikes against Iran, targeting military command centers, missile and drone launch sites, maritime capabilities and air defense systems. It said the operations were aimed at degrading Iran's ability to continue attacking commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
The General Command of the Bahrain Defense Force said on Tuesday that its air defense systems intercepted several Iranian aerial attacks on the country.
In a statement, the General Command accused Iran of continuing what it described as a "systematic hostile approach" through "unlawful attacks targeting civilians" in the kingdom.
It said all its units remain at the highest levels of readiness, urging the public to exercise caution, avoid approaching any unfamiliar or suspicious objects resulting from the remnants of the attacks, and report them immediately.
Kuwait said on Wednesday that its air defense systems were intercepting drones after explosions were heard in parts of the country.
In a statement posted on X, the General Staff of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces said air defense units were "currently responding to hostile drone threats."
The military said any explosions heard were "the result of air defense systems intercepting hostile targets," urging the public to follow safety and security instructions issued by the relevant authorities.
The statement did not provide details on the number of drones involved, their origin, or whether the attacks caused casualties or damage.
The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army said on Tuesday that its air defenses intercepted three missiles launched from Iran.
It said the interception caused no casualties or material damage, adding that it remains on high alert and will respond firmly to any threats to national security and sovereignty.
