Iran’s armed forces said they targeted US military facilities in Kuwait and Jordan in response to another US strike night; Jordan and Kuwait reported intercepting Iranian missiles and drones.
BBC reporting on the Houthi tanker night also recorded Iranian claims against US facilities in Kuwait and Jordan and host-nation interception statements. This is a bilateral retaliatory package claim, not a confirmed base destruction event.
Verification: Probable
