IRGC claims 88th strike wave — Tel Aviv, Kiryat Shmona, Bnei Brak and US bases in Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain
Iran's IRGC announced via Fars news agency the launch of its 88th wave of attacks targeting Israel and US military bases across the region. The IRGC claimed strikes on Tel Aviv, Kiryat Shmona (northern Israel), and Bnei Brak, as well as military sites in northern Israel. It also claimed targeting of US bases in Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain — the last confirming the Bahrain nationwide shelter alert issued minutes earlier. Jordan's inclusion as a target marks a new geographic escalation; Jordan hosts US military presence including Muwaffaq Salti Air Base used for operations against ISIS and now potentially Iran-linked strikes.
