Iran claims missile and drone strikes on US military bases

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for missile and drone strikes on US military bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait as part of its ongoing ‘Eye-for-an-Eye’ operation. The IRGC said the attacks were carried out in retaliation for recent US strikes on Iranian military targets.

According to Iran’s state news agency, the operation targeted Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, and Ali Al-Salem Air Base and Ahmed Al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait. The IRGC claimed that the strikes damaged fuel depots, ammunition storage facilities, air defence systems and radar infrastructure. It also warned against any further US military activity in the Strait of Hormuz.

The claims came after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) launched a major operation targeting Iranian air defence systems, missile and drone launch sites, coastal radar infrastructure and tactical naval assets.

According to the United States, the precision strikes targeted multiple military installations across Iran to degrade Tehran’s capability to disrupt international maritime trade. The US said the operation was aimed at protecting the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring freedom of navigation.
