Iran announced that it had struck the headquarters of the US 5th Fleet in Bahrain, an IRGC statement published on Al Manar read.

“In response to this second attack, the IRGC Aerospace Force struck a US air base and helicopter base located in one of the regional countries, as well as the headquarters of the US Navy’s 5th Fleet, using missiles and drones,” the statement read.

"We will not allow the US to be greedy, neither in negotiations nor in the ceasefire process," IRGC senior military officer Mohsen Rezaei said in the press statement. "The response to any shot and aggression is a barrage of missiles and drones. History does not go backwards, and the aggressor will be swiftly punished."

This follows an official statement by the governments of Kuwait and Bahrain on June 3, in which drone and missile strikes from Iran were announced, with the attacks killing at least one person and damaging civilian infrastructure, including Kuwait International Airport and diplomatic missions.

The strikes come amid a diplomatic stalemate between Iran and the United States, with the Trump administration seeking to curb Israel’s military actions in Lebanon in an effort to lure Tehran back to the negotiating table.

Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attacks "in the strongest terms" through a press statement, alleging that the strikes targeted civilian and vital facilities. One individual was killed, with additional injuries and structural damage reported at the airport and at diplomatic missions.

Bahrain's General Command of the Defence Force confirmed that its air defence systems intercepted and destroyed three missiles and several drones, describing Iran's campaign as "systematic aggression" targeting civilian infrastructure.

Qatar issued a condemnation of its own, characterising the strikes as "a grave violation of the sovereignty of both countries" and a breach of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the attacks as a flagrant violation of Bahrain's sovereignty and a threat to regional security, expressing full solidarity with Manama and backing for any measures the kingdom takes to safeguard its stability.
