Iran's army said it struck US military targets in Kuwait and Jordan in response to American attacks, according to a statement carried by the Iranian state broadcaster on Saturday.

In Kuwait, Iranian forces targeted an ammunition depot at the Al-Adiri camp, the headquarters buildings and ammunition depots at the Ali Al-Salem base and several communication bridges.

In Jordan, fuel tanks at the Al-Azraq base were also targeted, the state broadcaster said on Telegram.

Kuwait's army wrote on X on Saturday that explosions may be heard as a result of "air defense systems intercepting hostile targets".

Air raid sirens were also sounded in Bahrain, which hosts a major US naval base, according to the country's interior ministry.
