Iran Claims Drone Attacks on US Bases in Bahrain and Jordan

Iran's military announced on Tuesday that it conducted drone attacks against several US military bases and facilities in Bahrain and Jordan. The Iranian military stated these strikes were in retaliation for recent US attacks on Iran.

This action follows thirteen consecutive nights of US military strikes targeting Iranian sites, aimed at degrading Iran's ability to attack shipping. Iranian state media reported that US missiles hit the city of Ahvaz, near the Iraqi border, and that explosions were heard in the port city of Bandar Abbas and in Omidiyeh.

This morning, fuel depots, large equipment storage facilities, and grain silos, as well as barracks of the US terrorist army in Isa Air Base in Bahrain were targeted.

The Iranian military's statement specified that "fuel depots, large equipment storage facilities, and grain silos, as well as barracks of the US terrorist army" at the Isa Air Base in Bahrain were targeted. An AFP reporter in Bahrain confirmed hearing an explosion and sirens, though the connection to the Iranian claims was not immediately clear.

Any participation, cooperation, or assistance in committing an attack on Iran will create international responsibility for the involved parties.

According to the Iranian military, drone attacks were also carried out in Jordan, targeting "hangars, aircraft maintenance shelters, and barracks" at the Al-Azraq air base. Iranian authorities maintain that any facility or base in the Middle East used by the US military to conduct attacks against Iran is considered a legitimate target for retaliatory actions.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that any involvement, cooperation, or assistance in attacking Iran would create international responsibility for the involved parties. He added that Iran "reserves the right to take all necessary measures within the framework of self-defense."
