Middle East Conflict: Iran Claims Retaliatory Missile and Drone Strikes on US Bases Across Gulf

Iran launched a large-scale retaliatory missile and drone campaign against US military assets across the Gulf following continued American airstrikes. Iranian officials reportedly said targets included US-linked facilities in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, Erbil, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Syria’s Al-Tanf base, and Iraq. Tehran claimed to have struck weapons depots, training centres, command facilities, fuel infrastructure, surveillance systems, and airbases to weaken American operational capabilities. The report also alleged attacks on Kurdish militia positions and US intelligence-linked facilities. These claims could not be independently verified. The developments came after the United States reportedly carried out another night of heavy bombing inside Iran, targeting areas including Ahvaz, Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Yazd, Fars, and Hormozgan Province. The reported escalation marks another phase in the ongoing US–Iran confrontation and, if confirmed, could further heighten instability across the Middle East and increase concerns over regional security and global energy supplies.
