What is known about the new wave of mutual US and Iran strikes

According to the US, American forces conducted precision strikes against 'dozens of targets' in central and southern Iran. The strikes lasted over three hours and targeted Iranian air defenses, coastal radar systems, missile and drone systems, as well as small vessels. The stated goal was to 'reduce Iran's ability to continue attacking international ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz'.

Iran's IRGC claimed strikes on US military facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan as part of the third phase of 'Operation Revenge'. According to Iranian Mehr agency, fuel tanks, a Patriot air defense system at Ali-Salem base, and the strategic FPS radar system at Ahmed al-Jaber base were destroyed. The IRGC also claimed destruction of helicopter maintenance areas, a US drone control center in Bahrain, and damage to ammunition and fuel storage in Jordan.

The IRGC stated that 'Operation Revenge' continues, emphasizing that 'the Strait of Hormuz is our land, and we will not allow a foreign army arriving from the other side of the world to continue its illegal interference in this region'.

Analysis of the geographical scope of the strikes—from Jordan and Qatar to Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman—reveals a clear operational intent by Iran: to paralyze US command and control systems, undermine its ability to conduct air operations, and disrupt the US military’s naval logistics in Western Asia.
