Iran’s Army has targeted two key US bases in Bahrain and Jordan in response to deadly American aerial assaults on the Islamic Republic.
The Army’s Public Relations Department said on Friday that the attacks, launched under the 24th phase of Operation Saeqe (Lightning), involved launching Arash kamikaze drones at fuel storage facilities, large equipment warehouses and sheds, and the accommodation quarters of the terrorist US military personnel at Shaikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain.
Iranian drones, it added, also hit aircraft shelters, aircraft maintenance hangars, and accommodation facilities for forces of the aggressor US army at Jordan's al-Azraq Air Base.

“Any action against the legitimate and lawful interests of the Iranian nation and the sacred Islamic Republic establishment will also jeopardize the security and economic interests of other countries in the region,” it asserted.
In a separate statement, the Army said that in the 25th phase of the operation, it targeted the equipment depots of the American terrorist army at Camp Udairi, the location of American military personnel at Camp Doha, and the position of the arrogant enemy forces at the Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, using Arash destruction drones.
Emphasizing the continued intensification of its series of drone and missile operations in response to the malicious enemy's mischief, the Army added, “The threats of the narcissistic US president only further strengthen the resolve and determination of the nation and the armed forces in confronting the aggressors.”
For thirteen consecutive nights, the US military has conducted waves of air raids on Iran, committing war crimes by targeting civilian sites.
In response, Iranian armed forces have launched heavy reprisal attacks against strategic American targets across West Asia.

The US attacks, which have mainly targeted southern Iranian provinces, have so far destroyed several infrastructure sites, such as bridges and water desalination plants, and killed 55 and injured 645 Iranians.
The fresh rounds of US aggression began after Washington abandoned its obligation under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed on June 17 to end the war.
The United States and the Israeli regime waged their illegal war of aggression against Iran on February 28. However, forty days later, on April 8, the enemies were forced to accept a ceasefire amid Iran’s brave resistance, successful retaliatory operations, and powerful grip on the Strait of Hormuz.
