Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says that it targeted a gathering of US soldiers at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait early Thursday morning, according to Iranian state media.
Iranian state media also reported that the IRGC targeted Kuwait's early-warning radar systems at the air base in a dual missile and drone attack.
Later on Thursday morning, an Iranian military spokesperson announced that "the conflict will expand to new areas" if the US continues its strikes against Iran, specifying that the nation has no issue with the other Islamic countries in the region.
This announcement came after a spokesperson of the Khatam al-Anbiya Base said that Iran will target all US infrastructure in the region in a "superior strike" if US President Donald Trump's threats to wipe out Iranian infrastructure come to fruition.
"It must be reiterated that under no circumstances and in no way will we allow the United States, as a foreign and extra-regional country, to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz. This is Iran's inviolable red line," the spokesperson added to Fars media.
During the night, Bahrain and Jordan also activated missile sirens, with local Jordanian media reporting that eight Iranian missiles were intercepted.
Iranian state media also reported that US military communications systems and fuel storage tanks at the Azraq military base in Jordan had been targeted.
