The US and Israel have initiated military actions against Iran, prompting retaliatory strikes from Tehran against American and Israeli interests across the Middle East.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and US interests in the Persian Gulf as primary targets amidst escalating tensions. In response to the initial airstrikes by the US and Israel, Iran launched missile attacks that were felt in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, and Iraq. This rapid escalation signals the seriousness of Tehran's vow to retaliate against perceived aggressions.
