Iran claims coordinated attacks on US military sites in Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for a series of coordinated attacks targeting US military installations in Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain. The IRGC stated that the strikes, carried out early Saturday morning, involved drones and ballistic missiles aimed at various US assets.

In Kuwait, sirens sounded as drones reportedly struck US ammunition stores and communication systems at Ali Al Salem Air Base, among other sites. The country's Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy reported a fire at a power generation and water desalination plant following the attacks, leading to the shutdown of several power units. Firefighters and workers sustained injuries while responding to the blaze.

The IRGC issued a warning that countries hosting US forces should anticipate "corresponding responses" if their territory is used for attacks against Iran. This statement was reported by the IRGC-linked Tasnim news agency.

Jordanian authorities confirmed that their forces intercepted a total of ten Iranian ballistic missiles and four drones. The targets in Jordan included the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base and the Al-Azraq Base. However, Jordanian media cited the military as reporting no casualties or material damage resulting from these interceptions.

Additionally, the IRGC claimed responsibility for an earlier attack in Bahrain targeting Sheikh Isa Air Base, where US combat aircraft are stationed, and an intelligence data center. Bahrain's Interior Ministry reported that sirens sounded multiple times throughout Saturday morning.
