Iran carries out a wave of attacks on US sites across the Middle East after American strikes, in what both outlets describe as the heaviest exchange in weeks. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announce attacks on US bases in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region.
The two reports link the renewed violence to a broader escalation following an extensive US bombardment. Al-Monitor also adds that the attack sequence follows the deaths of four people at an Iranian wedding party, framing this as part of the surge in hostilities. Free Malaysia Today similarly describes the attacks as occurring after American strikes, but does not provide the wedding incident detail. Both sources characterize the developments as part of an ongoing six-month conflict and emphasize the regional scope of the strikes and the simultaneous nature of the targets.
