Iran war day 104: Iran says it attacks US bases after American strikes

Iran says it has launched retaliatory strikes against US forces in the region, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claiming attacks on bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, according to Iranian state media reports.

The escalation came after the US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it had carried out strikes against multiple targets inside Iran, describing the operations as acts of “self-defense” amid soaring tensions between Washington and Tehran.

US President Donald Trump had earlier warned that further military action was imminent, accusing Iran of failing to reach an agreement with Washington. “They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them; now they will have to pay the price,” Trump said.
