Iran launches drone attacks on US military positions, interests in West Asia

The Iranian army has conducted new drone attacks on US military positions in Jordan and Kuwait, as well as on an aluminum factory in Bahrain involved in the production of American military equipment.

The army announced that the attacks took place early on Friday in response to the US strikes on the country’s civilian infrastructure, including industrial facilities, Isfahan and Khuzestan Steel plants, and the B1 Bridge.

According to the statement, the drone attacks targeted “the logistics and support equipment warehouse and the housing facilities of the US terrorist army’s troops in Jordan,” as well as the site where “the mechanized battalion of the US armored brigade” was deployed at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait.

Camp Arifjan is a support base for various armored vehicles in Kuwait and hosts US infantry brigades and field support units, among others.

Among the targets struck by Iranian drones earlier in the day was “the largest aluminum smelting plant in Bahrain, which supports US military industries.”

Aluminum Bahrain (Alba) has links to US military-related supply chains.

The statement vowed to “respond to any hostile action by the enemy in a combined manner beyond expectations.”

The US and Israel started a fresh round of aerial aggression on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked attacks on the country.

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the strikes by launching barrages of missiles and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases and interests in regional countries.
