Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned civilians in countries hosting American troops to stay away from US military sites, according to Iranian state media. The warning came as Iran said it had carried out strikes against American bases in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait.
Initial Iranian reports described the action as retaliation for recent US attacks. Iranian accounts said drone strikes hit facilities in Bahrain and Jordan, adding to an already tense confrontation between Tehran and Washington.
Bahrain said it intercepted incoming Iranian threats, suggesting at least part of the reported attack was met by air defenses. Public details remained limited in the early reports, and the situation around the sites mentioned in Kuwait and Jordan was still unfolding.
The latest exchange highlights the risk of wider instability across West Asia, where US forces are stationed in multiple countries. Iran's public warning for civilians to avoid areas near American military positions underlines fears that further escalation could put nearby populations at risk.
