ISTANBUL: Iran said early Thursday (June 11) that 18 major US military targets in Kuwait and Bahrain had come under attack amid rapidly escalating regional tensions, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said the targets included the Ali Al Salem and Ahmad Al Jaber bases in Kuwait, along with the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain.

Separately, Iran's military said it had targeted Patriot systems and communications facilities belonging to the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
