The Revolutionary Guards say they have destroyed a command and control center and drone hangars at a base in US ally Jordan, after the US struck Iran in response to Tehran earlier targeting a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, declaring the waterway shut and threatening to target “additional enemy bases in the region” if it faced more attacks.
Meanwhile, authorities in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar signal they are under attack as well.
Abu Dhabi’s defense ministry says its air defenses are engaging with missiles and drones coming from Iran.
Manama’s interior ministry says sirens have sounded in Bahrain.
And booms are heard in Doha as Qatar’s government sends a security alert to mobile phones, according to a witness.
Interceptions are seen in the sky above Qatar, a key mediator between Washington and Tehran, as residents receive messages on their phones urging them to “remain in their homes and safe places.”
Doha subsequently says its armed forces intercepted a missile attack.
