Iran Retaliates Against Two Days of U.S. Airstrikes, Attacks U.S. Bases in Bahrain, Jordan, and More

Iran launched retaliatory attacks against Gulf nations on Thursday, June 11, in response to two consecutive days of U.S. airstrikes.

According to foreign media outlets including Reuters, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran carried out attacks against 18 U.S. military bases across the Middle East on this day.

In a statement, the IRGC claimed, "We used 12 ballistic missiles to strike the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base (Al-Azraq Air Base) in Jordan, where F-35, F-15, and F-16 fighter jets and key U.S. military assets are deployed, destroying a significant number of facilities and multiple fighter jets."

Following its actions yesterday, Iran continued to fire missiles and drones at the U.S. 5th Fleet base in Bahrain for the second consecutive day.

In relation to this, Bahrain announced that it had intercepted the missiles launched by Iran in mid-air.

Iran also stated that it had struck military radar at the U.S. Air Force base in Harir, northern Iraq.

Iran's state-run Nour News also reported that Iranian forces had fired upon U.S. vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

Kuwait temporarily closed its airspace in response to the Iranian attacks.

The Kuwaiti Directorate General of Civil Aviation stated, "This measure was taken in consideration of the Iranian attacks and the potential risks they may pose to civil aviation," adding, "We plan to resume air traffic as soon as the risk factors are eliminated."

This latest attack by Iran occurred approximately three hours after the U.S. military announced the resumption of airstrikes against Iran early this morning.

As the military confrontation enters its second day, tensions have escalated significantly, with Iran announcing that it will fully close the Strait of Hormuz and prohibit the passage of all vessels, including oil tankers and merchant ships.
