The US military's Central Command said it struck Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air defenses, radar systems, maritime assets, mine-laying capabilities and communications sites on Tuesday, with Iranian media reporting hits on multiple targets near the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran said it struck US assets in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Iraq, according to official statements. The IRGC said on Wednesday it had carried out a missile and drone attack on Kuwait’s Ali Al Salem Air Base, targeting the accommodation of a US commander, and drone facilities.
Jordan's armed forces earlier said their air defense systems dealt with 13 ballistic missiles that entered the kingdom's airspace. The clash ends a months-long stalemate since July in which both the US and Iran have largely held fire but showed no appetite for talks.
