🚨 BREAKING | Iran Strikes Back: US Bases in Qatar, Kuwait, UAE & Bahrain Hit — Explosions Reported Across the Gulf Region
[Updated: 1:00 PM Iranian Time / 09:30 GMT | Saturday, 28 February 2025]
In a massive escalation, Iran has officially confirmed retaliatory strikes targeting four US military installations embedded in Arab Gulf states:
🔴 Al-Udeid Air Base – Qatar
🔴 Al-Salem Air Base – Kuwait
🔴 Al-Dhafra Air Base – UAE
🔴 US Naval Base – Bahrain
Iran’s position is clear: this is NOT an attack on Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, or Bahrain — it is an attack on US forces operating within these countries, in direct retaliation for American strikes on Iranian soil.
Shortly after confirmation, explosions were reported in Saudi Arabia — home to Prince Sultan Air Base, another major US military hub. Qatar also reported missile interceptions over its airspace, with multiple explosions now confirmed on the ground. Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways have suspended all regional flights, and GCC nations are expected to close their airspace imminently.
Jordan’s military confirmed it shot down 2 ballistic missiles — echoing their role during Iran’s 2024 strikes toward Israel, where they intercepted Iranian projectiles en route.
Meanwhile, inside Iran, the National Security Council is urging civilians to evacuate Tehran, anticipating US and Israeli strikes on the capital. In Israel, the Home Front Command confirmed the IAF is actively intercepting a new wave of Iranian ballistic missiles, while rescue teams are reportedly deployed across the country — suggesting Iran’s strikes have already caused damage.
The GCC states have issued diplomatic condemnations, reserving “the right to respond” — though this is largely posturing. These governments privately pushed hard to prevent this exact scenario: a war that turns their soil into a battlefield.
