Iran's army announced on Friday that it had carried out drone strikes against several American military facilities and bases in Bahrain and Jordan, in retaliation for the latest US attacks against the Islamic republic.
Details of the Alleged Strikes
According to a statement from the Iranian army, the strikes targeted the Isa Air Base in Bahrain. The statement said: 'This morning, the fuel tanks, large equipment warehouses and silos and the barracks of the US terrorist army forces at the Isa Air Base in Bahrain were targeted by Arash kamikaze drones.'
An explosion was reported alongside the sounding of warning sirens in Bahrain on Friday morning, though it was not immediately clear if the two events were linked.
Claims Against Jordan
The Iranian army also claimed drone attacks against Jordan, targeting 'aircraft hangars, aviation maintenance hangars and a barracks' at Al-Azraq base. However, Jordan has not reported any strikes in recent hours.
Tehran argues that any facility or base in the Middle East that the US military uses for strikes on Iran is considered a legitimate target for retaliation.
