Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched missile and drone strikes against 22 US military targets on June 10, 2026, hitting facilities across Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait. The al-Azraq airbase in Jordan and the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain were among the sites targeted in what represents a dramatic escalation of hostilities between Washington and Tehran.
What happened and why
The IRGC’s strikes were reportedly retaliation for earlier US attacks on Iranian infrastructure. On June 3, 2026, the US hit locations including Jask, Sirik, and Qeshm Island, damaging key facilities such as communications towers and water supply systems.
An Iranian military drone was spotted over Iraqi airspace as the operation unfolded, signaling that the strike package was coordinated across multiple vectors. Missiles and drones were launched in tandem, a combination that complicates air defense responses.
