BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 4. The U.S. military’s
Himars system on Kuwait’s Bubian Island and the Patriot system in
northern Bahrain were hit, the statement of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says, Trend reports.
IRGC noted that since this morning, the 95th stage of the “True
Promise 4” operation has simultaneously targeted the U.S.
military’s gathering places in the UAE and the U.S. artificial
intelligence technology company Oracle in the UAE.
According to the IRGC, the “MCS ISHIKA” ship, which is owned by
Israel and sails under the flag of a third country, was hit in the
Khalifa Bin Salman port of Bahrain. A number of locations in Israel
were also fired upon with multiple-warhead missiles.
The IRGC added that the attacks are continuing.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military
operations against Iran, striking major cities, including Tehran.
The White House cited missile and nuclear threats originating from
the Islamic Republic as justification for the attacks. The strikes
reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
along with several other senior officials. In response, Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a large-scale
retaliatory operation against Israel and has targeted U.S.
facilities across Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE,
Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria using ballistic missiles, cruise
missiles, and drones.
The conflict has placed the region’s energy infrastructure and
maritime shipping under serious threat. Due to security tensions in
the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have risen significantly.
Iran fully controls the Strait of Hormuz and allows passage only to
vessels it deems necessary.
