Iranian media reported on Thursday that Iran had attacked the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, after US strikes on its territory.
‘In this wave of army drone strikes, communication antennas and radar facilities of the Patriot system of the 5th Fleet were targeted,’ the Mehr and Fars news agencies posted on Telegram.
An air raid alert was issued in Bahrain and residents have been urged to ‘remain calm and head to the nearest safe place’ the Gulf country’s interior ministry said on X.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Thursday it had fired ballistic missiles at a US command centre in Jordan, according to state media.
This ‘punitive operation against the aggressor’ targeted ‘Al-Azraq Air Base and its control center, using 12 ballistic missiles’, the Guards said, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency, claiming to have destroyed these facilities ‘and a large number of fighter aircraft’.
Kuwait said Thursday it would temporarily close its airspace from 4:50am and divert flights to alternative airports, after Iranian attacks in the region.
‘This measure comes in light of the Iranian attacks on the State of Kuwait and the potential risks this poses to civil aviation in the region,’ the Kuwaiti Directorate General of Civil Aviation said in a statement.
‘Airspace will be reopened and air traffic will resume as soon as the situation has ended and the causes of the danger have been eliminated, based on the assessment of the relevant authorities.’
