00:20The Gulf has entered one of its most dangerous escalation phases in years, as reports emerge
00:28in charge of coordinated strikes claimed across multiple U.S.-linked military bases in the region.
00:36According to statements attributed to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC,
00:45the operation targeted five U.S.-related bases across Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain during the
00:53latest wave of the 2026 escalation.
00:58In Jordan, the Muwafaq al-Salti Air Base in the Azraq region was identified as a key target.
01:07Iranian sources claim ballistic missiles were launched toward aircraft hangars, command centers,
01:14and operational infrastructure at the facility.
01:17In Kuwait, Ahmed al-Jaber Air Base and Ali al-Salem Air Base were also named, both serving as
01:27critical hubs for U.S. and coalition operations in the Gulf.
01:32In Bahrain, Naval Support Activity Bahrain, the headquarters of the U.S. 5th Fleet, along
01:40with Sheikh Issa Air Base were also included in the list of reported targets.
01:47IRGC-linked messaging describes the operation as a coordinated multi-wave attack involving
01:54both missiles and drones aimed at disrupting U.S. military presence across the region.
02:01However, regional governments present a contrasting account of events.
02:07Jordanian authorities reported intercepting multiple incoming missiles before they reached
02:14their targets, with air defense systems activated across key zones.
02:20Kuwait and Bahrain also reported defensive responses, including interceptions and temporary
02:27security alerts.
02:28U.S. Central Command assessments indicate that while aerial threats were detected and
02:35engaged across multiple locations, there is no confirmed damage or casualties at any of
02:43the targeted bases.
02:45Advanced air defense systems, including Patriot batteries, were activated across the region
02:52during the engagements.
02:53At this stage, independent verification remains limited, and assessments of physical impact
03:01are still ongoing across all reported locations.
03:05While Iranian statements highlight successful strikes on multiple U.S. bases, official regional reports
03:14emphasize interceptions and limited confirmed ground damage.
03:18The incident reflects the ongoing cycle of escalation in the Gulf, where rapid missile and drone
03:26launches are followed by layered air defense responses and competing narratives from all sides.
