The West Asian nations, including Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, continued to face a barrage of fresh Iranian missiles and drone attacks even as the tensions between the United States and Iran plunged to new heights, putting off the prospect of a peace deal between the warring groups.

The air defence systems remained activated in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Jordan and the UAE after Iran targeted US military facilities in the Gulf nations in retaliation for the American strikes.

Iran’s fresh strikes on Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday reported attacks on American bases in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait and other targets in West Asia.

According to Tasnim News Agency, a new wave of Iranian ballistic missiles was launched at the American bases in Jordan. Multiple explosions were heard in Kuwait too. A video released by the Iranian media showed an Iranian drone attack on a US army warehouse in Kuwait.

In Bahrain, heavy explosions were reported in American bases, prompting a warning alarm and activating the country’s defence system. The Iranian attacks targeted the “installations and infrastructure of the aggressive US army” in the Juffair area of the country.

Oman too was the target of Iranian strikes, with Tehran targeting the “FPS long-range aerial radar and the vessel detection radar in Oman”, Al Jazeera reported.
