On Saturday, Iran carried out additional attacks on Washington’s Gulf partners and Jordan following a seventh consecutive night of U.S. strikes on Iranian military positions, including logistics centers, intensifying the conflict just one week after a ceasefire broke down.
Kuwait faced a prolonged assault, during which a desalination facility was struck and operations at Kuwait International Airport were halted amid ongoing missile and drone threats.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it had targeted a U.S. military support center at Camp Arifjan and destroyed a radar installation at Ali Al Salem Air Base.
Later, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation reported that one of its oil facilities was struck in what it described as "repeated Iranian attacks," resulting in substantial damage and several injuries, according to the state news agency.
Kuwait's armed forces stated that they intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones early Saturday, noting that several firefighters and oil sector employees were injured while responding to the assaults.
Iran was responding to U.S. strikes targeting bridges, power facilities and other infrastructure.
"Since there is no international institution to prevent the savagery of the U.S. military, we have no path before us except the Quranic command: ‘Whoever attacks you, attack them in the same manner', "the IRGC said in a statement, warning U.S. partners in the region to brace for further strikes.
According to Iranian state media, the IRGC struck a location in Bahrain at Sheikh Isa Air Base where U.S. combat aircraft were stationed, as well as an intelligence data center.
The Guards also claimed to have destroyed at least two U.S. fighter jets and three additional aircraft in a missile and drone assault early Saturday on the U.S. base at Al Azraq in Jordan, Iranian state television reported.
However, the IRGC's claims have not yet been independently verified.
