Iran Launches Missile and Drone Attacks on US Bases in Middle East Amid Rising Tensions
Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US military bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain in retaliation for recent US strikes on Iranian targets. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have targeted the US Marine Corps base Camp Titin in Jordan, where Jordanian forces intercepted most missiles with no reported casualties. Iran also struck US facilities in Iraq's Erbil and Bahrain, escalating tensions after US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides reported no US casualties, while Iran claimed significant damage. The conflict raises concerns about regional stability and oil supply disruptions.
