Iran claims drone strikes on US military sites in Bahrain and Jordan

The Iranian army announced on Friday that it carried out drone strikes targeting US military infrastructure in Bahrain and Jordan. The strikes hit the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, where fuel tanks, warehouses, large equipment depots, and barracks housing US troops were reportedly targeted. In Jordan, the al-Azraq Air Base was also attacked, with the strikes aimed at an aircraft hangar and US army barracks. The announcement comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with Iran and the United States engaged in a long-standing confrontation. No immediate comment was available from US officials regarding the extent of damage or any casualties. The attacks mark a significant escalation in the conflict between the two nations, which have been at odds over various issues, including Iran's nuclear program and its influence in the Middle East. The US maintains military bases in several Gulf countries, including Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy's Fifth Fleet. Jordan is a key ally of the United States in the region. The Iranian military did not provide details on the timing of the strikes or the number of drones used.
