Middle East, Iran: US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait hit

The Iranian military has claimed responsibility for launching drone attacks against U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait, targeting American aircraft storage areas, fuel depots, and bridges. According to Iranian state media, two oil tankers caught fire after attempting to cross a minefield in the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz. However, the U.S. Central Command (CentCom) has denied these reports on social media, calling them false. Meanwhile, Iranian officials report that U.S. airstrikes in the region resulted in three deaths and eight injuries. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards also announced attacks on U.S. military sites in Kuwait and Jordan in retaliation for U.S. bombing campaigns. These developments highlight ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States in the Middle East.
