Iran launched attacks against U.S. military facilities across several Middle Eastern countries, including Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait. These actions followed a series of U.S. strikes against Iran that continued for 13 consecutive nights. Iran utilized Kheibar Shekan ballistic missiles, which are solid-fueled and designed to bypass air defenses. While Iran claims successful hits on fuel tanks, barracks, and hangars, some targeted nations report intercepting the aggressions.
