Iran says it targeted bases in Kuwait and Jordan after new wave of US strikes
Iran said it hit U.S. facilities and allied targets after Washington expanded strikes on missile and coastal defense sites, escalating the conflict across the Gulf.
- On Thursday, July 16, 2026, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched coordinated missile and drone strikes against six U.S.-linked facilities across Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain in a broad retaliatory operation.
- These strikes followed two major waves of U.S. Central Command airstrikes on Wednesday, July 15, which targeted Iranian missile sites, coastal defense systems, and command centers near the Strait of Hormuz.
- While Jordanian officials reported intercepting eight incoming missiles, Kuwaiti forces engaged hostile drones; Tehran claimed strikes hit Ali Al Salem Air Base, Sheikh Isa Air Base, and Al Azraq Air Base.
- Iran's military headquarters warned the U.S. against further strikes, with spokesman Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari stating "all infrastructure in the region" would be "crushed" if targeted, describing the situation as an "existential war."
- The IRGC insists the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States ends its "acts of aggression," threatening further disruptions to regional oil export routes as the conflict intensifies.
