Middle East War: Iran says it attacked a military base in Syria, U.S. bombings continue

Tensions escalated as Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced an attack on a U.S. special operations command center in al-Tanf, Syria, while U.S. forces conducted airstrikes within Iran for the sixth night in a row.

The Revolutionary Guard stated their attack was retaliation for the deaths of Iranian soldiers in Iranshahr. This action follows the U.S. announcement in February of its withdrawal from al-Tanf and the transfer of control to the Syrian army.

U.S. military communications indicated that overnight strikes on Thursday and Friday targeted "dozens of Iranian military targets," including coastal surveillance and air defense sites, military logistics infrastructure, and maritime facilities. In response, an Iranian military spokesperson warned that if the U.S. strikes Iranian infrastructure, "all infrastructures in the region will become legitimate targets for Iran."

Further complicating the situation, Kuwait and Qatar reported aerial attacks early Friday, with sirens sounding in Bahrain. An Iranian military spokesperson claimed responsibility for using explosive drones against U.S. military sites in Kuwait.

Iranian state media reported numerous explosions across the southern part of the country. According to state television, U.S. forces bombed two bridges in the Bandar Khamir region, resulting in seven deaths, and also struck a train station in Bandar Abbas and the Iranshahr airport. The city of Bouchehr, home to Iran's sole nuclear power plant, was reportedly hit for the second time in a few hours.

If the Americans strike the infrastructures of the Islamic Republic, then all the infrastructures of the region will become legitimate targets for Iran.
