Iran carried out missile and drone strikes on eight US military installations across the Middle East, describing the action as a final response to renewed American aggression. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the attacks targeted key US facilities, including Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet at Salman Port in Bahrain. The strikes followed US attacks on Iran’s Sirik city and Qeshm Island late Saturday night.

According to an IRGC statement, its naval and aerospace forces jointly conducted the operation. The IRGC accused the United States of breaking promises and violating agreements by attacking five Iranian coastal outposts, which Washington claimed were linked to an Iranian vessel incident in the Strait of Hormuz. The statement also referenced a recent memorandum of understanding, brokered by Pakistan, granting Iran oversight of maritime traffic through the strait.

The IRGC warned that any future violations or aggression would be met with harsher and more destructive retaliation, emphasizing its readiness to enforce stricter measures against noncompliant vessels.
