Iran’s Fars News Agency reported that four major U.S. military bases were subjected to missile attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The strikes reportedly targeted Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, and the U.S. Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain.

Iranian media outlets, including state television, stated that sirens sounded continuously at U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates following the strikes.

Both the Associated Press and Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior confirmed that the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain had come under missile attack. Meanwhile, a witness told Reuters that smoke was seen rising from the Al Juffair area, which hosts the U.S. naval base.

The Emirates News Agency reported a temporary and partial closure of the country’s airspace as a precautionary measure, while Russian media outlets stated that Iranian ballistic missiles had targeted Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE.

In Iraq, an explosion was heard in Jurf al-Nasr, north of Babylon. Iraqi authorities announced the suspension of air traffic and the closure of the country’s airspace. Kuwait also halted all flights heading to Iran until further notice.

The U.S. embassies in Bahrain and Qatar warned American citizens of approaching missiles and drones, urging them to seek shelter in “safe locations.”

Earlier on Saturday morning, the United States and the Zionist enemy entity launched a wide-scale aggression against Iran, targeting government and military headquarters in several provinces across the country.

 Trump stated that the objective of these “combat operations” is “to defend the American people by eliminating imminent Iranian threats.”
