The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched retaliatory strikes on Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar.
Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported loud explosions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as Iran carries out retaliatory strikes on US bases across the Gulf in response to earlier US-Israeli aggression against the country.
Simultaneously, Bahrain’s National Communications Center announced that the US Fifth Fleet’s service center was targeted by an Iranian missile, in retaliation for the joint US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
The Ministry of Interior in Bahrain confirmed the activation of sirens and urged citizens and residents to head to the nearest safe location until further notice.
Additionally, Russian media outlets reported that Iranian ballistic missiles targeted Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, a key military installation hosting US forces in Abu Dhabi.
Furthermore, Reuters reported several loud explosions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. According to the report, citing the Emirati state news agency, one person was killed by an interceptor missile.
Reuters, citing a witness, reported that sirens sounded in Kuwait. In another development, the US Embassy in Jordan announced measures requiring all its employees to remain in their residences until further notice.
This comes as part of Iran’s retaliatory strikes in response to the joint US-Israeli aggression against the country earlier today, which targeted multiple areas across Iran in a coordinated aggression.
In response, Tehran launched successive waves of missiles toward “Israel,”targeting various areas across occupied Palestine, marking a significant escalation in the confrontation.
