Iran says it launched a series of retaliatory strikes on US military assets in Kuwait and Bahrain Saturday night — after the US hit them earlier in the day as part of a rising series of strikes and counter-strikes between the two nations.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed they “destroyed eight important US military facilities at the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait and at the Fifth Fleet naval base in Port Salman in Bahrain.”
It was not clear how much damage their attacks did, but Kuwait said they were attempting to intercept the attacks and “any explosions that may be heard are the result of air defense systems intercepting hostile targets,” according to a statement on X.
Air raid sirens, meanwhile, went off Bahrain, as officials there called on residents to “remain calm and head to the nearest safe place.” US has major bases in both countries.
