Iran: Iran's army said Thursday it targeted infrastructure at US military bases in Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain in response to recent US attacks on Iranian territory.

According to Anadolu Agency, in a statement carried by Iran's state broadcaster IRIB, the army reported targeting a Patriot air defense system in Kuwait, a satellite antenna used as an early-warning site in Qatar, and fuel storage facilities belonging to the US military in Bahrain. The attacks were executed using "large numbers of various types of destructive drones."

Earlier Thursday, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared it had targeted infrastructure and facilities at US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, asserting they would not "leave the US military's aggressions unanswered." The IRGC accused the US of violating its commitments by carrying out strikes in Iran's southern coastal provinces, according to a statement also carried by IRIB.

The IRGC warned that "if [the US] repeats its aggression, our crushing responses will be extended to other US bases in the region." It detailed that in the initial phase of retaliation, the IRGC's naval and aerospace forces conducted a joint missile and drone operation. This operation struck key infrastructure and facilities at US bases in Arifan and Ali al-Salem in Kuwait, and Jafair and Sheikh Isa in Bahrain, shortly after the US attacks.

These developments followed reports from Iranian media of a new wave of US strikes late Wednesday targeting multiple locations in southern and southeastern Iran. The US Central Command stated that American forces had launched these additional strikes to diminish Iran's capability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
