Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Monday claimed responsibility for coordinated strikes on United States military targets and bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, according to Iran’s state media.

The official news agency, IRNA, reported that the Guards issued separate statements announcing attacks on Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, a US military drone command centre in Bahrain, and air bases, including Ali Al Salem Air Base, in Kuwait.

The claims follow escalating tensions between Iran and the United States and recent military confrontations in the region.

However, there was no immediate confirmation from US or host nation authorities regarding the reported attacks or any resulting damage or casualties.

The development follows a series of military exchanges that have heightened concerns over the security of the Gulf region and key international shipping routes.
