Eight Straight Nights of U.S. Strikes on Iran as U.S. Issues Global Travel Warning

The U.S. military carried out an eighth consecutive wave of strikes overnight (between Saturday and Sunday), targeting sites in Iran just hours after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that two American service members had been killed in an Iranian attack in Jordan and another remained missing.

According to a CENTCOM statement, the operation began at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time (22:00 GMT) under the direction of President Donald Trump. After the strikes concluded, Central Command said the operation had targeted Iranian military coastal surveillance facilities and air defense systems.

Iranian media reported strikes in several areas of southern Iran. The Mehr news agency said the U.S. struck an area near the city of Sirik, claiming there were no casualties or infrastructure damage. The Tasnim news agency reported an additional strike near the city of Shadegan, close to the Iraqi border.

Shortly afterward, Iranian state television, citing a military statement, claimed Iran had launched a drone attack on American military assets at Camp al-Adiri and Ali al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait. According to the report, the strikes were part of Iran's ongoing campaign against U.S. forces and its Gulf allies.

Iranian media also reported that the Revolutionary Guards struck the U.S. military support center at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait and destroyed a radar installation at Ali al-Salem Air Base. Later, Kuwait's national oil company said one of its oil facilities had sustained significant damage and that several workers were injured.

According to Iranian media, Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, where American fighter jets were stationed, as well as an intelligence facility, also came under attack. Iranian state television further claimed that a missile and drone attack carried out before dawn on Shabbat against the U.S. base at al-Azraq in Jordan destroyed at least two American fighter jets and three additional aircraft.

Reports also said Saudi warning systems issued alerts to residents of al-Kharj and Yanbu, urging them to enter protected areas. According to two sources familiar with the matter, the alerts were triggered by an Iranian missile attack, the first reported attack on Saudi Arabia in more than three months. However, the Revolutionary Guards made no mention of an attack on Saudi Arabia in their statements, and Saudi authorities did not comment on the reports.

Amid the escalating tensions, the U.S. State Department issued a worldwide travel advisory for American citizens abroad. The department warned that the deteriorating security situation in the Middle East raises the risk of "potential for unpredictable escalation" and cautioned that flight cancellations and temporary airspace closures could disrupt international travel.
