Iranian forces have reportedly launched missile and drone attacks targeting U.S. military installations in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait, according to multiple regional and military sources.
The strikes are being described as a response to recent American military operations against Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz.
Air defense systems across the Gulf were activated as incoming projectiles were detected, with several missiles and drones reportedly intercepted before reaching their targets.
Officials say there have been no immediate reports of major damage or casualties, though assessments are still underway.
The exchange comes only hours after Washington carried out what it described as “self-defense” strikes on Iranian radar and air defense sites.
U.S. officials said those operations were intended to counter threats to American forces and regional security interests.
The latest developments mark a significant escalation in the ongoing confrontation between Iran and the United States.
Regional governments have increased security measures amid concerns that continued retaliation could trigger a broader conflict.
The Gulf region remains on heightened alert as military forces monitor the situation and prepare for potential further exchanges.
Diplomatic efforts to ease tensions continue, but analysts warn that the risk of wider regional instability remains high as both sides exchange military actions.
