Iran fired missiles, drones at bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan - Axios

Jun 10, 2026, 03:45 GMT+1

Iran launched at least four ballistic missiles and several drones at US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, a US official told Axios reporter Barak Ravid.

The attacks came hours after US forces carried out strikes on Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz in what Washington described as a self-defense operation.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards have claimed hitting 21 US military targets across the region, including the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan and Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they struck four key targets at the US Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan, including what they described as F-35 fighter shelters and a command-and-control center.

In a statement carried by Fars News, the IRGC said the attack was part of a continuing retaliatory operation following earlier strikes by its naval forces on US facilities in the region and the reported downing of a US MQ-9 drone over Bushehr Province.

The Guards said their aerospace force used long-range solid-fuel missiles to target and destroy four sites at the base.

The IRGC warned that Iranian forces remain prepared to deliver a "decisive and crushing response" to any further attacks and said responsibility for the consequences of future military action would rest with the United States.
