Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared on Tuesday morning that it had attacked two U.S. bases in Kuwait and two in Bahrain. This announcement follows a significant escalation in hostilities between Iran and the United States. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) simultaneously reported concluding a new series of strikes against Iran, targeting around 90 locations. CENTCOM stated these strikes aimed to further limit Iran's capability to attack commercial vessels and innocent sailors in the Strait of Hormuz. The attacks reportedly included anti-aircraft systems, missile and drone storage sites, and coastal military infrastructure. This marks the second night in a row of retaliatory strikes, following U.S. actions against targets in southern Iran in response to Iran's earlier attacks on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The situation remains volatile, with Iran warning of further attacks on U.S. bases if provoked again. U.S. President Donald Trump had previously stated that a ceasefire between Iran and the U.S., in place since April 7, was "over."
