Iran military says attacked US bases in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait
Iran's military said on Friday it carried out drone strikes against several American military facilities and bases in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait in retaliation for the latest U.S. attacks against the Islamic republic.
"This morning, the fuel tanks, large equipment warehouses and silos and the barracks of the U.S. terrorist army forces at the Isa Air Base in Bahrain were targeted by Arash kamikaze drones," the army said in a statement carried by state TV.
An AFP journalist in Bahrain reported an explosion and the sounding of warning sirens in the country on Friday morning, though it was not immediately clear if the two events were linked.
The Iranian army also claimed drone attacks against Jordan, targeting "aircraft hangars, aviation maintenance hangars and a barracks" at Al-Azraq base.
Jordan has not reported any strikes in the last few hours.
In a separate statement, the Iranian army said it had launched drones at U.S. equipment warehouses in Camp Udairi and the site of American military personnel in Camp Doha and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the ideological arm of Iran's military, said it had targeted the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, claiming to have destroyed an ammunition depot and inflicted casualties among U.S. personnel.
Tehran argues that any facility or base in the Middle East that the U.S. military uses for strikes on Iran is considered a legitimate target for retaliation.

What I can't understand is why these countries are not attacking back. On top of that why is Egypt which is losing millions of dollars daily because ships are not going through the Suez Canal not taking active participation in the fight against the Houthis and their Iranian bosses.

Iran has limited its attacks to Arab states. Yet, the Arab League is silent. Does it still exist or is it tolerant of Muslim-on-Muslim violence?
