Iran targeted military bases following a wave of strikes launched by the US.

Well-supported — high-quality sources agree

What we can confirm

Authoritative news outlets and analytical organizations consistently report that Iran has been targeting U.S. military bases and facilities in Gulf and regional states as *retaliation* following waves of U.S. strikes on Iran and Iranian-linked targets. These reports describe Iranian missile and drone attacks on bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE and elsewhere, explicitly linking them in time and stated motive to prior American strike campaigns, which aligns with the claim that Iran targeted military bases following a wave of U.S. strikes.
