On the morning of the 15th local time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
(IRGC) said it struck US military facilities in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait,
including the US Fifth Fleet facility in Bahrain. The IRGC said it destroyed the
Fifth Fleet's command-and-control center in Bahrain, fuel storage and munitions
depots; hangars at Azraq air base in Jordan housing F-15, F-16 and F-35 aircraft
and several MQ-9 drones; and US sites in Kuwait including a satellite
communications centre, air-defence radar, a Patriot air-defence system, a US
logistics base and a HIMARS rocket-launcher platform. The IRGC said the strikes
were carried out in response to US night strikes on multiple locations along
Iran's southern coast on the night of the 14th.
