Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they carry out missile and drone attacks on U.S. military bases in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, describing the action as retaliation for American strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz. The reported attacks follow U.S. actions in the region that include strikes ordered after developments near the strait, where U.S. President Donald Trump says Iran downed a U.S. Apache helicopter on Tuesday. The incidents deepen tensions between Iran and the United States and occur amid questions about efforts to reach a broader agreement to end fighting. The exchange is described as among the largest since a ceasefire was reached in April between the two sides. The New York Post and other reports frame the new attacks as part of an escalating cycle of tit-for-tat actions, while France 24 emphasizes the specific locations targeted and the Revolutionary Guards’ role. Across the accounts, the central points are Iran’s stated retaliation, attacks on multiple Gulf and regional bases, and the link made to U.S. strike activity around Hormuz, following prior claims and counterclaims about losses in the air near the strait.
