Iran has widened its retaliation against the United States, targeting US positions across Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq and Bahrain as the military confrontation between Tehran and Washington flares again.

intensive attacks with kamikaze drones

Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported that coordinated drone and missile attacks targeted US military bases in Erbil, in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region. Iranian state media said the attacks destroyed a maintenance center, warehouses and the “guidance system of a US surveillance balloon.”

Iranian state media also reported attacks on US forces at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had launched “intensive attacks with kamikaze drones” against radar stations and gathering points of what it called “the terrorist US forces.” Air-raid sirens were heard in Bahrain early Wednesday, according to AFP reporters.

Jordan and Kuwait had earlier reported Iranian air attacks on their territories. Jordan’s army said 13 ballistic missiles launched from Iran entered the kingdom’s airspace. Its air defenses intercepted 10, while three struck remote areas. Kuwait’s army said its air defenses were responding to “hostile missile and drone attacks.”

hostile missile and drone attacks

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said a “massive missile attack” had targeted Camp Titin, a US Marine Corps base in Jordan near the Gulf of Aqaba and close to Israel and Saudi Arabia. The confrontation had resumed on Sunday and sharply intensified on Tuesday after US forces said they had attacked targets in Iran. Tehran then reported missile and drone strikes on US bases in the region. Trump warned that further attacks would be “much harder.” Iranian state television also reported explosions along the strategic Strait of Hormuz and on an island in the Persian Gulf.
