00:19Iran has struck a U.S. military command center in the heart of Jordan, crippling the American
00:26army base. And tonight, the Middle East is no longer on the edge of war. It is in one.
00:36In one of the most significant direct military escalations in decades, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary
00:43Guard Corps launched a coordinated, multi-country ballistic missile offensive targeting American
00:49forces across the region, and the scale of it is staggering. The IRGC's aerospace force fired
00:57long-range, solid-fuel ballistic missiles at the Al-Azraq air base in Jordan's Zarka province,
01:04a base that hosts American military personnel. Tehran did not just claim the attack, it claimed
01:12precise destruction. Four critical targets hit. F-35 fighter jet hangars, gone. The primary
01:20command and control center, destroyed. If those claims hold, this is not a warning shot. This
01:27is a direct decapitation strike on U.S. military infrastructure. But Jordan tells a different
01:34story, at least partly. The Jordanian military confirmed its air defense systems intercepted
01:41five Iranian missiles mid-air. The interceptions caused debris to fall, but Amman says there were
01:48no casualties and no property damage. Jordan has not yet confirmed whether any missiles got through.
01:55What Jordan is not saying may be just as important as what it is, because Iran is saying something
02:03very different. And it does not stop at Jordan. Iran simultaneously struck the U.S. fifth fleet in Bahrain.
02:11Bahrain, one of the most powerful American naval concentrations anywhere on Earth. Bahrain has
02:17confirmed the attacks and has asked its population to move to safe shelters immediately. Kuwait was hit
02:25too. Iranian missiles targeted the Ali al-Salam air base and the Kuwaiti army confirmed its air
02:32defense systems are actively intercepting hostile aerial targets as we speak. Three countries, one night,
02:40all American military targets. Tehran says this was retaliation. The trigger, U.S. strikes on Iranian air
02:49defense systems and radar installations across Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Jost and Keshe Island. Strikes that came
02:58after a U.S. Apache helicopter was allegedly downed in the Strait of Hormuz. And in a detail that will
03:06fuel the
03:06information war for days, Iran is now claiming that American strikes overnight hit two water storage
03:13tanks in the coastal town of Sirik, cutting off drinking water to an entire civilian population.
03:20That is the kind of detail that changes international opinion fast.
03:25But the night is not over. Because while Iran was launching ballistic missiles at American bases, Hezbollah
03:33was opening a second front entirely. Iran's most powerful proxy force announced a sweeping series
03:41of drone, missile and rocket attacks targeting Israeli military forces across southern Lebanon.
03:47The strikes hit Israeli soldier gatherings, armored vehicles and command posts in the Lebanese towns
03:54of Biara, Rashaf, Al-Khawaza and Kantara. Israel and the United States are now being hit simultaneously,
04:04from the east by Iran, from the north by Hezbollah. This is no longer a proxy war with occasional flare
04:11-ups.
04:12This is a coordinated, multi-front military campaign. And America's most advanced fighter
04:19jet hangars may already be burning in the Jordanian desert tonight. The fourth battle that Iran promised
04:26has begun.
04:32Iran has launched what it is calling a new wave of coordinated missile and drone strikes targeting
04:38U.S.-linked military facilities in Kuwait, marking a sharp escalation in the ongoing 2026 Iran conflict.
04:47According to statements from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, the attacks were part of a
04:55broader third-wave operation aimed at American military infrastructure across the Gulf region. Key targets
05:03reportedly include the Ali al-Salem air base in Kuwait, one of the most important hubs for U.S. air
05:10operations in the country. The base hosts fighter aircraft, helicopters, logistics units, and American
05:17personnel involved in regional operations. Iranian state media claims the strikes were carried out in
05:24retaliation for recent U.S. military actions against Iranian positions, including earlier attacks in the
05:33United States. In addition to Kuwait, Iranian sources also claim simultaneous operations targeting U.S.
05:41facilities in Bahrain, Jordan, and Iraq, signaling a coordinated regional escalation. However, as of now,
05:49independent confirmation of major damage or casualties in today's wave has not been verified by U.S.
05:56Central Command or Kuwaiti authorities. Kuwait's air defense systems have been highly active in recent
06:03days, intercepting multiple incoming missiles and drones during earlier waves of attacks. In previous
06:10incidents, debris from interceptions caused minor damage, but no large-scale destruction or mass
06:16casualties were reported. This latest escalation comes after a series of tit-for-tat strikes throughout June
06:242026, including earlier missile attacks that damaged parts of Kuwait International Airport and injured
06:31civilians. Since the beginning of this conflict, Iran has repeatedly targeted U.S. military installations
06:39across the Gulf, while U.S. and allied defense systems have intercepted a significant portion of
06:45incoming threats. Still, the repeated waves of attacks have increased tensions across the region,
06:52region, raising fears of a wider and more sustained regional war. Military analysts warn that even
06:59when intercepted, the volume of missiles and drones being launched is placing heavy pressure on air
07:05defense systems and regional stability. As of now, the situation remains fluid, with governments across
07:12the Gulf on high alert and monitoring for further developments.
