Iran’s retaliatory attacks hit US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan
Iran’s Armed Forces continued their retaliatory attacks against US military on Tuesday, targeting American bases in Bahrain and Jordan in response to fresh strikes.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said in a statement that it struck the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, as well as American targets in Jordan with missiles in follow-up retaliation against continued American attacks.
The IRGC said its Navy pounded several weapons depots, a satellite communications center, accommodation used by US troops, and several military radar systems in Bahrain. A Patriot radar system, the Fifth Fleet’s air-control radar, and a C-RAM early warning radar system were also destroyed.
In another statement, the IRGC announced ballistic missile strikes by the Aerospace Force against “a key facility and the location where the American enemy was stationed at an airbase” in Jordan.
“This base had been used to launch attacks against us, and the American criminals have now been made to pay for their actions,” the Guards said.
Two super oil tankers were also struck and disabled by the IRGC naval forces after attempting to navigate through a mined route in the Strait of Hormuz which has been closed again by Iran following US violations of a peace memorandum.
According to the IRGC statement, the US government, which has repeatedly failed to learn from its defeats, once again tried to create chaos by inciting vessels to violate legal shipping lanes.
The Iranian Army also delivered powerful blow to the US forces in the region on Monday.
According to the Army, following repeated US mischief and aggression against the Iranian homeland, waves of Iranian kamikaze drones targeted critical infrastructure at US bases in Kuwait.
Communication systems, fuel storage tanks, Patriot air defense batteries, control towers, and ammunition depots of the American forces were struck and severely damaged.
US attacks on Iran
Iran’s retaliatory attacks came after US forces launched new wave of attacks on Iranian southern cities for third successive night.
According to Iranian media, explosions were heard throughout the night across the southern coast, including the port city of Bandar Abbas, Kish and Qeshm islands and the town of Jam in Bushehr Province. Family members of an Iranian park ranger were killed in a US airstrike in northern Hormozgan Province while four people were wounded in another US attack on the southwestern city of Omidiyeh.
American forces have deliberately targeted Iran’s transportation infrastructure, fishing boats, cargo vessels, and meteorological facilities and buildings in recent days.
More than 20 people have been killed since the new round of US attacks against Iran on the pretext of alleged Iran’s attacks on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
