Iran has announced it has targeted US military installations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Jordan, in response to US strikes on Larak Island. According to state TV, Iran's military launched dozens of attack drones at Al Minhad Base in the UAE, aiming at areas where US helicopters and personnel were stationed. The Revolutionary Guards also stated they attacked US military targets in Jordan, including technical infrastructure, maintenance facilities, and enemy fighter jet positions at King Hussein and Al-Azraq airbases.
This escalation follows US forces striking two Iranian launchers on Larak Island on Sunday, marking the first known American strikes on Iran since late July. The conflict between the two nations has now lasted six months, resulting in thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions. Eighteen US service members have been killed in the ongoing war, which has also led to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil transportation.
