The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a statement claiming its latest strikes were carried out in direct response to recent U.S. attacks on Iranian infrastructure.

The IRGC warned that any country hosting U.S. forces used to conduct operations against Iran should expect a "corresponding response" and urged those governments to activate their civil defense systems.

According to the IRGC, its latest strikes targeted U.S. military facilities across the Gulf, including Camp Arifjan and Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, an intelligence site in Bahrain, and additional U.S.-linked military targets in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Qatar.

Notably, the IRGC's warning could also apply to Israel, which has been used as a base for U.S. military operations against Iran. Despite that, the current wave of retaliatory strikes has largely focused on U.S. installations and partner nations in the Gulf rather than Israeli territory.

Several Gulf states have also reported Iranian attacks affecting civilian infrastructure, including oil, electricity, water, and airport facilities. Kuwait has confirmed damage to critical infrastructure and injuries to emergency responders and oil sector workers. Bahrain has repeatedly activated air raid sirens as Iranian missiles and drones targeted the island, while Jordan and other regional partners have also reported intercepting Iranian attacks.

The IRGC further claimed it killed U.S. personnel, destroyed radar installations, and struck weapons maintenance and drone facilities. Those claims have not been verified. Iranian state and IRGC casualty claims have frequently been exaggerated or later contradicted by subsequent evidence and should be treated with caution until confirmed.

Iranโ€™s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has issued a written statement following the recent round of clashes between Iran and the United States:

โ€œThe Great Satanโ€™s repeated violations of the memorandum of understanding signed between the Presidents of Iran and the U.S. once again prove to everyone how worthless and unreliable the signature of the U.S. President is, and that bullying, hegemonic ambitions, and savagery are inseparable elements of the American way and doctrine.

The Great Satan has once again revealed its true face without a mask, so that this dark experience of crime and bad faith will stand as yet another powerful testament to America's deceitfulness, irrationality, untrustworthiness, and wickedness.

Now that the American enemy is seeking to ignite war and incur even heavier costs and greater disgrace, it should know that the beloved Iranian nation and the Axis of Resistance have unforgettable lessons in store for it.โ€
