Iran says it struck US bases in Jordan and Kuwait with drones

WASHINGTON, United States — Iran's army announced a new wave of drone attacks on American bases in the region on Wednesday. State television reported that the army targeted military equipment at the US Al-Azraq base in Jordan with drones for the second time. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps separately said a US Army center at the Abdullah Port in Kuwait had been destroyed. The operations were described as part of an ongoing military escalation between Washington and Tehran in recent hours. US forces have carried out airstrikes against Iranian targets, while Tehran has responded with strikes on US bases and Washington's regional allies. The developments have revived tensions around the strategically important Strait of Hormuz and put at risk a fragile ceasefire between the two sides signed in mid-June. No further details on casualties or damage were immediately available.
