Reports indicate that military targets included the Arrifdan and Al Salem air bases in Kuwait, alongside the Shaik Isa and Jufer air bases in Bahrain. Jufer is noted as a significant location, housing the Maritime Support Activists, serving as a primary base for the American Navy in the Persian Gulf, and hosting the SAD’s Fleet. The Revolutionary Guard has asserted that these attacks were a retaliatory measure following alleged American attacks targeting the southern provinces of Iran and two bridges located in eastern Iran, according to the Iranian state news agency IRIB.
Previously, Iranian media cited the Revolutionary Guard claiming that the SAD had consented to construct a railway bridge in Akhal, a region situated northeast of Tehran. Iranian outlets reported viewing a video depicting this bridge, a claim that CNN subsequently corroborated using geolocation techniques. Furthermore, CNN also issued a statement regarding the attack on the bridge, sourced from the Central Command of the SAD (CENTCOM).
The reports detail escalating tensions involving the American military presence and infrastructure within the region. The stated justification for the recent strikes links them directly to perceived aggression against Iranian interests, specifically targeting key military and logistical assets. These incidents underscore ongoing regional disputes concerning security and military posturing between various international and regional powers near the Persian Gulf.
