Iran has escalated its retaliatory military campaign across the Middle East, launching missile and drone strikes on United States military targets and allied locations. Iranian missiles reportedly struck the United States naval headquarters in Bahrain, including the base of the United States Fifth Fleet, while a drone attack caused material damage at Bahrain International Airport.
Ballistic missiles also targeted the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, with air defence systems attempting interceptions as explosions were seen in the night sky. In Jordan, defence forces responded to incoming missile threats after fires were reported in several areas, signalling a widening scope of regional tensions.
