Iran launches attacks on American military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait

way2barak, July 13: Iran claims attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Jordan, saying it hit US military sites, in retaliation for Washington’s renewed bombardment of its southern coast.

The US attacks on Iran come amid an intensifying standoff over the Strait of Hormuz, with explosions reported in the port cities of Bandar Abbas, Sirik and Jask, as well as Qeshm Island.

At least two unidentified people were killed and three wounded in the attack.

IRGC opened fire on two ships attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz as Iran and the US battle for control of the strategic waterway.

“This morning, two ships that were attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz illegally were targeted and stopped by warning shots fired by the navy of the Revolutionary Guards,” said a correspondent based near the strait.

Iran-US strikes continue to escalate as both vie for authority over the trade route, through which about one-fifth of the world’s energy resources flow.
