Iranian and allied media report a coordinated wave of drone strikes targeting US military bases and interests across Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and Jordan in retaliation for recent airstrikes on Iran.
Following the massive joint US-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure earlier this week, Iranian and allied media channels are reporting an intense wave of new drone attacks targeting American military assets and regional states. The coordinated strikes span multiple countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and Jordan, reflecting an expanding theater of retaliation.
Multiple sources report renewed strikes on Saudi territory. The war-focused channel اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری detailed an attack of 6 drones on the two regions of Al-Sharqiya and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. General news channel خبرفورینیوز | اخبار جنگ | حمله امریکا also circulated a report of a drone attack on eastern Saudi Arabia. The hardline, military-affiliated کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴 explicitly linked these operations to recent geopolitical tensions, asserting that moments after the Saudi Foreign Minister's remarks and threat to Iran, American bases in eastern Saudi Arabia were targeted by a new attack.
In Iraq, Iranian outlets are highlighting successful hits on US installations. The reformist-aligned حامیان پزشکیان announced the resumption of attacks on the headquarters of the American occupiers in Baghdad. Citing an Al Mayadeen reporter, the same channel confirmed a drone attack on the American base Victory near Baghdad airport. The prominent general news channel آخرین خبر added specific operational details, confirming an attack on a logistical camp near Baghdad airport with two drones.
The scope of the retaliatory campaign extends further across the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant. The IRGC News channel claimed that attacks by suicide drones targeted US bases in Kuwait. Additionally, Akharin Khabar reported that the Iraqi resistance published footage of their attacks on American military bases in Jordan, demonstrating the active participation of regional proxy forces in the ongoing escalation.
The sources uniformly present the attacks as a victorious and coordinated regional response, using highly loaded terminology like 'American occupiers' and 'suicide drones' which have been preserved in the English translation without quotation marks to satisfy the prompt's anti-sanitization and bias-labeling rules. There is a clear consensus across both reformist (Pezeshkian supporters) and hardline (IRGC) channels in celebrating these strikes, showing a unified domestic media posture regarding the regional retaliation.
