Iran launched retaliatory attacks on US assets in several Gulf Arab states following a joint US-Israel strike on Iranian territory early Saturday, according to Al Jazeera. The Iranian government confirmed that multiple targets were hit in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, all of which host American air bases.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that all Israeli and US military targets in the Middle East were struck by powerful Iranian missiles. The report also noted that Iran had fired waves of missiles and drones toward Israel, intensifying tensions across the region.
The developments mark a sharp escalation in hostilities between Iran and its adversaries, with potential implications for regional security and the stability of US alliances in the Gulf.
