The U.S. Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the remaining key facilities of the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain were targeted by Iranian missiles.
⚠️ Security Alert | #Iran#SITREP | A significant escalation unfolded across the Gulf region during the early hours of Saturday 06 June 2026, involving direct military exchanges between Iran and the United States and prompting air defense responses in both Kuwait and Bahrain. Iranian and American officials have provided sharply different accounts of the events, though both sides acknowledge a series of military actions in and around the Strait of Hormuz.
According to a statement published by @FarsNews_Agency issued by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the incident began at approximately 1:30 a.m. local time when four vessels described as violating tankers attempted to leave the Strait of Hormuz without authorization and ignored warnings from the IRGC Navy. Iranian officials claimed one vessel was engaged and disabled while the remaining ships turned back after receiving warnings. No independent confirmation of the incident has emerged.
Iranian authorities told @Tasnimnews_Fa that around 2:00 a.m., U.S. drones struck communications infrastructure in both Qeshm Island and Sirik in Hormozgan Province. Shortly afterward, Iranian media outlets reported multiple explosions in the area. Correspondents from state television @iribnews_irib in Sirik stated that several blasts were heard around 2:30 a.m., while local reports suggested military activity along parts of Iran's southern coastline.
The United States presented a different version of events. @CENTCOM announced that American forces intercepted and destroyed four Iranian one-way attack drones that were approaching the Strait of Hormuz. According to CENTCOM, the drones represented an immediate threat to maritime traffic operating in one of the world's most important shipping corridors. Following the interceptions, U.S. forces conducted strikes against Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island. American officials described the operation as a defensive measure intended to prevent additional attacks against shipping and coalition assets in the region.
Iran subsequently announced retaliatory action. The IRGC stated that ballistic missiles were launched against Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and facilities associated with the U.S. Fifth Fleet @US5thFleet in Bahrain. Iranian officials described the strikes as a response to what they characterized as American aggression against Iranian territory. The statement warned that any future attacks would trigger a broader response and suggested that continued escalation could place maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz at risk.
As the situation developed, air defense systems across the northern Gulf became active. Kuwait's General Staff @KuwaitArmyGHQ confirmed that Kuwaiti air defenses were responding to incoming missile and drone threats and advised residents that sounds of explosions were likely related to interception operations. Similar reports emerged from Bahrain, where @BDF_Bahrain air defense systems were reportedly engaged against aerial targets. Videos circulating on social media appeared to show interception activity over Arabian gulf territory, although the footage has not been independently verified.
CENTCOM later stated that Iran launched seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain following the American strikes on Iranian radar facilities. According to preliminary U.S. assessments, six of the missiles were intercepted while a seventh failed to reach its intended target. American officials reported no casualties among U.S. personnel and rejected Iranian claims that facilities connected to the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain had been damaged.

CENTCOM: U.S. forces intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones launched toward the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf neighbors on June 5.
According to CENTCOM, Iran fired seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain following U.S. strikes on Iranian drones and coastal radar sites. U.S. officials say six missiles were intercepted and a seventh failed to reach its intended target.
CENTCOM added that there are no reports of injuries to U.S. personnel and rejected Iranian claims of damage to U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain.
🇺🇸 U.S CENTCOM STATEMENT:
U.S. forces intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones launched by Iran toward the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf neighbors, June 5.
Iran fired seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain hours after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz. The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic. U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further maritime attacks.
Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target. There are currently no reports of harm to U.S. personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging U.S. 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false.
CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and postured to continue responding to unwarranted Iranian aggression in self-defense.
The US Air Base in Kuwait and the important facilities in the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain were targeted by Iranian missiles
General IRGC Public Relations: At 01:30 this morning, four offending oil tankers, incited and directed by the US aggressor army, without coordination and without paying attention to the prescribed warnings of the IRGC Navy, attempted to illegally exit the Strait of Hormuz. After the warning, one of the oil tankers was targeted and stopped, and the other offending vessels turned back.
Following this incident at 2:00, American drones hit a telecommunications port in Qeshm and a port in Sirik with two projectiles. In response to the aggression of the child-killing US army, two US air bases in Kuwait, named Ali al-Salem, and the remaining important facilities in the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, were immediately targeted by ballistic missiles from the IRGC Aerospace Force.
We warn the aggressor and child-killing enemy that if these evils are repeated, a limited response will not suffice. You will be responsible for the consequences of the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to the export of oil and gas.
