Iran Retaliates Against U.S. Airstrikes for Second Day, Targets 18 U.S. Bases Including in Bahrain

Iran launched retaliatory attacks against Gulf nations on June 11 (local time) in response to U.S. airstrikes that have continued for two consecutive days.

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

For the second consecutive day, following yesterday's strikes, Iran launched missiles and drones toward the U.S. 5th Fleet base in Bahrain.

Iran also stated that it struck military radar at a U.S. airbase in Harir, northern Iraq, on this day.

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

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

Tensions are escalating as Iran announced on this day, the second day of the military exchange, that it would completely close the Strait of Hormuz and prohibit the passage of all vessels, including oil tankers and merchant ships.
