Israel launches new attacks and Iran targets the Gulf

For US President Donald Trump, the big surprise of the conflict is the fact that Tehran is attacking Gulf countries, which condemned the start of a regional war and decided not to take sides. The actions are leading these nations to consider retaliation, as Iran has stopped exclusively targeting military targets and started launching attacks against civilian infrastructure.

Cross-bombing operations against several locations continued in the early hours of Tuesday (3). The US directed the departure of its non-essential diplomatic corps in at least six countries in the region, following a targeted attack on the American embassy in Saudi Arabia the previous day: Jordan, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

These facilities are located just meters from the complex where Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other officials were killed on Saturday.

According to official data released, the Israeli Armed Forces attacked approximately 600 targets in Iran in the latest wave of bombings.

Israel increases military presence in Lebanon after new Hezbollah attacks

The Israeli army continued bombings against the Iranian capital and Lebanon this Tuesday, after the terrorist group Hezbollah claimed responsibility for an attack on the Israeli air base in Ramat David.

On its official website, Hezbollah stated that the attack was a response to “Israeli criminal aggression” against “dozens of Lebanese cities and towns, including the southern suburbs of Beirut.”

The Israeli Army announced the death of Reza Juzai, whom it identified as head of Hezbollah’s weapons program and leader of the Lebanese branch of the Quds Force, the elite unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. According to the statement, he was considered the “right-hand man” of the Lebanese corps commander and “a key actor” in strengthening Hezbollah’s military capabilities through the supply of material from Iran.

Iran talks about “destruction” of US base in Bahrain and US embassy in Saudi Arabia is hit

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard issued a statement on Tuesday morning claiming a series of attacks against a US military base in Bahrain, claiming to have destroyed it. This action represents a further blow after Saudi Arabia confirmed that the US embassy in Riyadh was attacked by drones and Washington urged its citizens to leave the Middle East, although Iranian authorities have not confirmed responsibility for these specific attacks.

“In this attack, 20 drones and three missiles hit the targets, destroying the main command building and barracks of the American air base and setting fire to its fuel depots,” the Revolutionary Guards said in a statement carried by Iran’s Fars news agency.

Throughout the night and early morning, Iran launched attacks against US allies across the region. Hours earlier, the same Revolutionary Guard had reported the thirteenth wave of attacks against American bases in countries in the region, such as Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, as well as against Israel.

The US ordered the indefinite closure of its embassy in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, amid a wave of attacks by Iran against American targets in the Persian Gulf.
