IRGC claims strikes on U.S. targets in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait in retaliation

TEHRAN, July 13 — Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Monday that it had targeted U.S. bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait in retaliation for U.S. attacks against coastal Iranian provinces earlier in the day.

In statements published by its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said the U.S. military had carried out airstrikes against several coastal military bases Sunday evening after the IRGC intercepted two “violating” vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
