Iran targets US base in Jordan, missile alert siren sounded in Bahrain

Iran said Tuesday that it had targeted a U.S. air base in Jordan with ballistic missiles as it widened its retaliation for American strikes, while Bahrain sounded missile alert sirens for the third time amid renewed attacks on U.S. military facilities across the region.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the Jordan attack in a statement carried by the semiofficial Fars news agency, calling on Jordanians to dismantle American bases in their country.

The IRGC claimed that its strikes in Bahrain hit a U.S. Patriot radar, a Fifth Fleet air-control radar and other military systems. There was no independent confirmation of damage or casualties.

The attacks marked the third consecutive day of Iranian retaliation against U.S. assets in Gulf countries following American strikes on Iran.
