Iran Strikes US Bases Across Middle East, Warns of ‘Severe’ Response to American Attacks

Iran has launched fresh missile and drone attacks against US military positions and allied targets across the Middle East, escalating tensions after Washington carried out new strikes on Iranian territory.

Iranian media reported that ballistic missiles were fired at two US bases in Jordan, while Tehran also claimed drone attacks against American forces at an air base in Bahrain. The developments have widened the latest phase of the conflict and drawn more US allies in the Gulf into the confrontation.

Jordan’s military said it intercepted 10 ballistic missiles launched from Iran, while three others fell in remote areas. Officials did not report casualties or confirm that any US facility had been hit.

Further attacks were reported in Kuwait and Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they targeted US bases in Kurdistan with missiles and drones, claiming damage to a maintenance centre, warehouses and other military equipment.

The latest escalation followed US strikes on Iranian positions on Sunday and Tuesday. Iranian state media reported explosions in areas near the Strait of Hormuz and said American forces had also struck an airport in Kerman province. Iran said the earlier US attacks killed 11 people, although the claims have not been independently verified.

Iranian officials have issued increasingly strong warnings against Washington and countries hosting American forces. Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebi said the US would regret the latest attacks, while Iranian military spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari warned that countries cooperating with US forces could face broader retaliation.

US President Donald Trump had earlier warned Iran that any retaliation would trigger attacks at a “much harder and higher” level. He said the latest American strikes were intended to prevent Iran from placing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route.

The conflict has now entered its sixth month, with Iran maintaining restrictions on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz while the United States continues its counter-blockade of Iranian ports. Two crude oil tankers were also reportedly struck by unidentified projectiles, adding to fears over the security of energy supplies.

Despite the military escalation, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Tehran remains prepared to respond to any US move towards a diplomatic agreement. He warned, however, that renewed pressure and threats from Washington could undermine efforts to end the conflict.
