Iran fires missiles and drones at US bases as regional tension spikes

Iranian IRGC says it launched missiles and drones at US targets in Jordan and Bahrain after US strikes, with Jordan intercepting five missiles and Bahrain reporting a flash near the Fifth Fleet. Kuwait issued sirens as it intercepted hostile targets. The US says it struck Iranian air defenses, ground-control stations, and radar near the Strait of Hormuz, damaging a communications tower and two water reservoirs in Iran.
