Retaliation: Iran for the first time attacked all US military bases in the Gulf region at once

For the first time, Iran attacked all US military bases in the Persian Gulf region at once in response to American and Israeli airstrikes on its nuclear and government facilities. This was reported by the Bbloomberg agency with reference to Iranian state media.

"The state-run Iranian Nour News agency, close to Iran's security forces, reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps used heavy missiles to simultaneously hit several bases, including the Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar, the Ali Al-Salem airbase in Kuwait, the Al-Dhafra airbase in The United Arab Emirates, as well as the base of the US 5th Fleet in Bahrain," the agency reports.

Bahrain reported that the service center of the US 5th Fleet was the target of a missile attack. CNN, meanwhile, reports that Qatar intercepted two more missiles in its airspace.

It is noted that this is the first time that Tehran has carried out attacks on all US facilities in the region at once, which it has avoided before, usually resorting to so-called limited retaliatory strikes during periods of tension. In particular, in June last year, Iran attacked the Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar in response to strikes by Israel and the United States.

Iran attacked US bases after the US and Israel launched strikes across the Islamic Republic today. At the same time, US President Donald Trump called on the Iranians to take power into their own hands after the end of the military campaign.

Meanwhile, Axios correspondent Barak Ravid in the social network X spoke with reference to a source about the goals of the US and Israeli strikes on Iran.

"A senior American official told me: the US strikes are aimed at Iran's missile program and missile launchers. The Israeli strikes are aimed at eliminating high—ranking Iranian officials and the missile program," he writes.

As EADaily reported, after the Israeli attack, Iran took decisive action, launching dozens of missiles towards Israeli cities. Iran's state television has officially confirmed the start of the retaliation operation.
