Open-sources have reported that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has conducted coordinated missile and drone strikes against multiple US-linked military facilities across the Middle East on 12 July 2026 (exact times not specified). The strikes were launched in retaliation for the third wave of US airstrikes on Iranian territory. The IRGC has claimed attacks on the following locations: Jordan: Prince Hassan Air Base was struck, with reports indicating the destruction of the command centre and MQ-9 drone hangars. Oman: Refueling platforms used by US aircraft carriers at the Port of Duqm were targeted in what the IRGC described as a "surprise" attack. Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar: The IRGC has claimed strikes on US facilities in these countries, though specific target details have not been disclosed (exact locations not specified). The attacks involved a combination of missiles and suicide drones. Iran's state broadcaster IRIB reported that the strikes were coordinated and conducted in response to ongoing US military operations against Iranian targets. Casualty and damage information for Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar has not been reported at this time. These developments follow the US Central Command announcement on 11 July of strikes against more than 140 targets across southern Iran, including the port cities of Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Chabahar, Bandar-e Deyr, Jask, and Asaluyeh. The IRGC has also announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz "until further notice" until US intervention in the region ends.
