[Khalil Ashawi/Reuters]By Al Jazeera StaffPublished On 10 Jun 202610 Jun 2026Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed attacks on United States military bases in Bahrain and Jordan in retaliation for US strikes on ports and islands in the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement carried by state media on Wednesday, the IRGC said it launched a drone attack on the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and a long-range missile strike on a base in Azraq, Jordan.
Kuwait, which hosts US troops, said it was also under attack, with its air defences “intercepting hostile aerial targets”.
The latest flare-up comes amid tensions over the downing of a US Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday.
The IRGC warned that its forces remain fully prepared to deliver a “crushing and decisive” response to any subsequent US military actions, and that Washington would bear full responsibility for the consequences of further escalation.
