Iran Claims Drone Strikes on US Bases in Bahrain and Jordan

Published

TEHRAN, Iran – The Iranian Army carried out drone strikes against United States military facilities in Bahrain and Jordan on Friday, July 24, 2026.

Okay News reports that the Iranian army confirmed the strikes in a statement broadcast on state television following retaliatory actions against American facilities. “This morning, the fuel tanks, large equipment warehouses and silos and the barracks of the US terrorist army forces at the Isa Air Base in Bahrain were targeted by Arash kamikaze drones,” the army said in a statement carried by state TV.

An AFP journalist in Bahrain reported an explosion and the sounding of warning sirens in the country on Friday morning, though it was not immediately clear if the events were linked to the strikes.

The Iranian army also claimed drone attacks against Jordan, targeting “aircraft hangars, aviation maintenance hangars and a barracks” at Al-Azraq Base. Government officials in Jordan have not reported any strikes in recent hours.

Official statements from Tehran maintained that any facility or military base in the Middle East that the United States military uses for strikes on Iran is considered a legitimate target for retaliation.
