Iranian state media said the Army’s ongoing Saeqeh/Thunder phases hit US-linked facilities in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain with one-way attack drones, as the multi-night US–Iran exchange continued.
Press TV and related Iranian outlets reported claimed strikes on aircraft shelters, fuel and billeting at regional bases hosting US forces. Independent battle-damage confirmation was limited in open Western reporting; this record captures the Iranian operational claim, not verified base damage.
Verification: Probable
Evidence: Iran Army targets US military facilities in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain
Statement-level claim from Iranian state media; host-nation intercept claims appear in later BBC reporting for other nights. Damage not independently confirmed here.
