In a significant assault on a US military command post since the onset of the Iran conflict, Iran's IRGC targeted the US Fifth Fleet headquarters located in Bahrain on June 3. This occurred alongside drone and missile strikes on Kuwait International Airport. The IRGC asserted that its naval units aimed at the command-and-control center linked to recent US operations, which included an attack on an Iranian communications tower situated on Qeshm Island. The US military refuted the IRGC's claims regarding the extent of damage caused. Bahrain's military forces reported intercepting three missiles and multiple drones. This strike aimed directly at the key command center overseeing all US naval activities in the Persian Gulf — a facility tasked with managing American military operations from the Gulf to the Indian Ocean.
