Iran has announced that it will continue to target US military installations and aggressive infrastructure in the region. According to Iranian media, the air defense system has been activated in Tehran, while there are also reports of defensive activities in Pakdasht and Parand near the capital. Local authorities say that parts of the airport in the eastern Iranian city of Semnan were damaged as a result of the attacks, while multiple explosions were also heard in Khorramabad. There are also reports of new attacks in the city of Khondab in the central province of Markazi. According to the Iranian Ministry of Health, 35 civilians have been martyred and over 300 injured in US attacks on Iran over the past week. In the southwestern Iranian province of Khuzestan, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have shot down a US MQ-9 drone in the city of Andimeshk. Prior to this, there were also reports of alleged US attacks in southern coastal areas of Iran, including the island of Qeshm, Bandar Abbas, the city of Sirik near the Strait of Hormuz, and the southeastern city of Konarak. On the other hand, the IRGC spokesman said that the current phase of Iranian operations is focused on destroying US aggressive infrastructure in the region and that further phases may be launched in the future. The IRGC also claimed to have targeted several US military bases in the region. The Iranian military said it had targeted US radar and defense systems in Bahrain and Kuwait in the 10th phase of Operation Lightning. Iran claimed to have carried out drone attacks on the US military's communication systems, Super Hawk radars, and Patriot installations at the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain. According to state media, the Iranian military said it had targeted US forces' radar systems, Patriot defense systems, and fuel depots at the Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait. The Iranian state broadcaster quoted the IRGC as saying that it had targeted a C-RAM early warning radar and a gathering point of US troops during the eighth wave of the Nasr-2 operation. In a statement, Iran said the US had used Kuwaiti territory to launch attacks on Iran and called on the Kuwaiti people to demand the withdrawal of US forces from their country. The Iranian military said it had also targeted the US military's communication systems, permanent radar stations, and fuel depots at the Azraq Air Base in Jordan using attack drones. According to the Fars News Agency, the Iranian military said the operation was part of the ninth phase of the Saeqeh operation, which was carried out in response to recent attacks on Iran, particularly the attack on the Bamper military barracks in Iranshahr, which killed 7 soldiers, according to Iran. The Jordanian military said it had shot down 8 missiles during the Iranian attacks. The IRGC said it had targeted the US military's air surveillance and control radars, Super Hawk radar systems, Patriot defense systems, and fuel installations for US warplanes at the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain. In a joint drone and missile attack on the Ali Al-Salem US Air Base in Kuwait, a satellite communication center, early warning radar, and US military installations were also targeted. At the Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan, the US Command and Control Center and US warplane installations were targeted with Khaybar-buster ballistic missiles. The IRGC emphasized in a statement that the Kuwaiti people should not allow US forces to use their territory against Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen, and should demand the withdrawal of US forces from the region. They said the war is ongoing, and the full restoration of the Strait of Hormuz is conditional on the cessation of US operations in the region.
