In a statement carried by semi-official state media Fars, in the early hours of Thursday morning, the Iranian army said it had targeted a Patriot missile interceptor system in Kuwait, an early-warning satellite antenna site in Qatar, and fuel storage facilities in Bahrain with “a large number of various types of attack drones.”
Later on Thursday morning, the U.S. Embassy in Jordan publicized a security alert stating that “reports indicate missiles, drones, or rockets are in Jordanian airspace.” Residents were advised to “seek overhead cover and shelter in place immediately.”
U.S. forces struck “approximately 90 Iranian military targets,” in addition to the roughly 80 targets they hit on Tuesday. The U.S. strikes left some areas along the Iranian coast without power, with electricity lines in the southeastern Chabahar County temporarily impacted, according to semi-official state media.
The traded assaults come after President Donald Trump on Wednesday told reporters at the NATO summit that the interim agreement to end the Iran war is “over.”
During his flight back to Washington, D.C. from the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, Trump said the U.S. was “winning” and claimed Iran had “called” and wanted to make a deal.
Trump also warned, via a social media post, that the U.S. military response “will get much worse” should Iran target any more vessels transiting the Strait.
In a call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Thursday, Qatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani condemned the Iranian attacks on vessels.
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry equally denounced the Iranian attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait, calling them “a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable violation."
When asked about the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed on June 17, Trump told reporters Wednesday: “I think it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them anymore."
That deadline is set to expire in mid-August, but amid flare-ups of violence and accusations of violations from both sides, it seems little progress has been made.
