Iranian missiles target US bases across the Persian Gulf, triggering emergency air-defense responses and regional airspace closures.
DUBAI — Coordinated waves of Iranian ballistic missile and drone volleys reportedly targeted military facilities hosting American personnel across the Persian Gulf, triggering emergency air-raid protocols, ground shelter-in-place directives, and widespread airspace closures across several Arab partner nations.
State television in Tehran, citing Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders, claimed direct hits on American military infrastructure throughout the littoral. The claims coincided with reports of heavy detonations, surface-to-air missile engagements, and rising smoke columns reported across key logistics corridors in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait.
