Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday it had launched a new series of retaliatory strikes targeting US military facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, following renewed American attacks on Iranian territory.

In a series of statements, the IRGC said the attacks formed the fourth, fifth and sixth waves of its Operation Nasr 2, which it described as a response to overnight US strikes on Iranian coastal bases and other locations in the country’s southern provinces.

According to the IRGC, the fourth wave targeted what it described as the US military’s main logistics and support facility at Mina Abdullah in Kuwait.

The force claimed the site was set ablaze and destroyed during the attack.

In the fifth wave, the IRGC said its naval forces struck command-and-control facilities, logistics warehouses, military equipment depots and fuel storage sites belonging to the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

The sixth wave targeted the US airbase at Al Azraq in Jordan, where the IRGC claimed its Aerospace Force struck aircraft shelters housing F-15, F-16 and F-35 fighter jets and destroyed several MQ-9 drones stationed at the base.

The IRGC also warned that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until the United States halted what it described as acts of aggression against Iran.

It further threatened to expand disruptions to regional energy exports, saying that if the United States continued blocking maritime routes under the guise of enforcing a naval blockade, “other oil and gas export routes” serving US interests and those of its allies could also be closed.

“The region’s oil and gas exports will be available either to everyone or to no one,” the IRGC said.
