The Revolutionary Guard Corps say they attacked key bases like Ali Al Salem, Ahmad Al Jaber, and Sheikh Isa in response to American raids.
Iran has announced that 18 major US military targets in Kuwait and Bahrain have come under attack amid rapidly escalating regional tensions.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said the targets included the Ali Al Salem and Ahmad Al Jaber bases in Kuwait, along with the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain.
Separately, Iran’s military said it targeted Patriot systems and communications facilities belonging to the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
It added that suicide drones had been launched toward the US Fifth Fleet in response to what it described as American attacks on southern Iran.
The developments come amid escalating tensions following US strikes on southern Iran and Iran’s subsequent attacks targeting US military assets across the region.
Precision strikes across Iran
The latest escalations follow a new series of US strikes against multiple targets in Iran, which US Central Command (CENTCOM) called a response to Iran’s “unwarranted and continued aggression”.
Shortly after the announcement, the state-run Mehr News Agencyreported fresh explosions in Bandar Abbas and Sirik, as well as another blast near Minab in the southern Hormozgan province.
These bombardments capped a day of sustained regional military activity. Earlier on Wednesday, Mehr reported that detonations outside Fars city were caused by the activation of air defence systems.
Anti-aircraft activity was also heard over western Tehran, while separate blasts rumbled from afar near Kish Island.
