Iran has carried out attacks on US bases in Jordan and Bahrain, according to various reports. This action follows the bombing of Larek Island, which the Persian country considers a provocative act.

Different sources have confirmed that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces claimed to have attacked these facilities as retaliation. The attacks specifically occurred at two airbases in Jordan and one in Bahrain, within less than 48 hours of the bombings.

The outlet Infobae details that the attacks in Jordan occurred on two occasions, while Iranian state media mentions that operations were also conducted against facilities in Iraq.

Additional reports from RTP indicate that Iran has justified these actions as a response to US aggression in the region, although no specific details on the damage caused at the attacked bases have been provided.

The situation remains tense, and responses from US authorities or the governments of Jordan and Bahrain have not been detailed in the consulted sources.
