Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for missile and drone strikes targeting US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, as well as Amazon's data infrastructure in Bahrain. Bahraini air defenses confirmed intercepting missiles from Iran, though the US military denied any attacks occurred in Bahrain. Jordan's military intercepted five drones launched from Iran.
The IRGC stated it destroyed US air defense systems and radar installations in Bahrain, and targeted radar, telecommunications, satellite, and missile defense infrastructure at bases in Kuwait. In Kuwait, the IRGC claimed to have targeted a tactical radar complex near Ali al-Salem base and another radar system on Bubiyan Island.
These actions follow 10 consecutive nights of US attacks on Iran, which began on February 28. The US Central Command stated its forces struck Iranian military command centers, missile and drone launch sites, maritime capabilities, and air defense systems. The IRGC also claimed responsibility for explosions that caused two tankers to catch fire in the Strait of Hormuz.
An Iranian military source indicated that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed as long as US threats and hostile actions continue. US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for an end to the conflict, urging Republicans to vote on halting military operations.
