Iran Launches Massive Wave of Missile and Drone Strikes Across the Middle East

Following the massive US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran earlier this week, Iranian forces have unleashed a widespread, multi-front wave of missile and suicide drone attacks across the region. Targets reportedly span the occupied territories, US military bases in Kuwait and Iraq, and strategic oil installations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

State media IRNA reports the continuation of Iranian missile attacks with sirens sounding in Tel Aviv and central occupied Palestine. The pro-government channel حامیان پزشکیان claims that Iranian missiles destroyed northern occupied territories and Haifa. According to the آخرین خبر network, sirens blared in Karmiel and other settlements, while Iraqi news sources cited by the channel reported two explosions in Tel Aviv. The pro-military کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴 reported extensive explosions in the West Bank and northern occupied Palestine following the missile wave.

American military installations also face heavy bombardment. Sabereen News, as quoted by آخرین خبر, reported several powerful explosions at an American occupier base in Kuwait, with the blasts so intense they were clearly heard in border areas with Iraq according to خبرفوری‌نیوز | اخبار جنگ | حمله امریکا. Meanwhile, کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴 reported that suicide drones targeted a US military base in Erbil, shaking the northern Iraqi city with multiple explosions.

The strikes have heavily impacted Gulf states. اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری highlighted unconfirmed reports of an explosion at the Yanbu refinery on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, noting it is the main alternative to the Strait of Hormuz. آخرین خبر stated a missile hit the Yanbu refinery, emphasizing it is a major US investment and marks the first time the fire has spread to the Red Sea. Sirens also sounded in the UAE, and news of explosions in Riyadh and Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province was celebrated by the pro-IRGC کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴 with "Allahu Akbar".

The vast scope of the attacks has triggered alarms across neighboring nations. حامیان پزشکیان cited Hebrew sources reporting explosions heard in Jordan, while Al Jazeera correspondents confirmed sirens ringing out in Kuwait and the sounds of multiple blasts echoing over northern Jordan and Baghdad.

Notes

The source material strongly utilizes anti-Israel and anti-US terminology, heavily relying on terms like 'occupied territories', 'occupiers', and framing the strikes as victorious operations. The tone remains highly militaristic and celebratory. All translations faithfully reflect this charged language per the prompt's explicit instructions.
