Arabic version: طهران تشن ضربات على قواعد عسكرية أمريكية في ثلاث دول
Iran launched attacks targeting US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, in what Al Jazeera described as direct strikes on US military assets in multiple Gulf countries.
According to Al Jazeera, the strikes came after another round of US attacks and occurred as the standoff over the Strait of Hormuz intensifies, Al Jazeera’s Mohamed Vall reports.
The report says the operations specifically targeted US military assets across the three countries named. Al Jazeera framed the events as part of a broader confrontation involving US forces and Iran, repeatedly describing the locations struck as US military assets in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan and situating the incidents within Gulf states.
This matters because, as presented in the report, the strikes and the reported sequence of prior US attacks expand the geographic scope of direct confrontations involving US forces and Iranian actions. The Al Jazeera video links these strikes to another round of US attacks and to an increasingly tense standoff centered on the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically significant maritime corridor mentioned in the report.
What happens next: the standoff over the Strait of Hormuz may further intensify. Al Jazeera published its video report on 13 July 2026, with Mohamed Vall reporting on the incidents.
