Following U.S. retaliatory strikes, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched drone and missile attacks on July 8, 2026, targeting the U.S. 5th Fleet Headquarters at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain and military installations in Kuwait. Iranian officials called the strikes a crushing response to American aggression. Local reports confirmed explosions near Ali Al Salem Airbase. The escalation has caused global oil prices to surge and heightened fears of a full-scale regional war in the Gulf.
