IRGC reports strikes on US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan

An AFP correspondent said explosions and air raid sirens were heard in Bahrain on Friday morning, but it was unclear whether the events were related to the attack announced by Tehran.

The IRGC also claims to have struck aircraft hangars, maintenance facilities and military barracks at Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan. Jordanian authorities, however, have not reported any strikes in recent hours.

In a separate statement, the Iranian army said it had launched drones at US equipment depots at the Deira camp, as well as at facilities housing US troops at the Doha and Arifjan camps in Kuwait.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a strike on the Ali al-Salem air base in Kuwait, claiming that an ammunition depot was destroyed and American troops suffered casualties. There is no independent confirmation of these claims.
