US military bases attacked in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait

 


Tehran: Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they had struck US military targets and bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, state media reported on Monday.
The official news agency IRNA cited several statements released by the Guards saying they had attacked Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, a US military drone command centre in Bahrain, and airbases including Ali Al Salem in Kuwait.

The Jordanian military said on Monday it had shot down four Iranian missiles over the country, which Tehran said were intended as retaliation for US strikes. 'At dawn today, air defence systems intercepted and shot down four missiles that had entered Jordanian airspace from Iranian territory,' an official source from the Jordanian General Staff said, adding that there were no reports of injuries or property damage.

Kuwait's armed forces said they were responding to 'hostile aerial targets' on Monday as Iran carries out strikes on US interests in the Gulf. 'The Armed Forces are currently intercepting hostile aerial targets within Kuwaiti airspace,' the head of Kuwait's army said in a statement published by the state-run news agency KUNA. 

Iran said it launched missile and drone strikes targeting “installations and infrastructure of the aggressive US army” in Juffair, Bahrain.
