In the early hours of September 2, 2026, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Army launched a coordinated wave of missile and drone strikes against American military positions across Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, exacting a heavy toll on US forces in retaliation for the bombing of southern Iran.

The latest round of Iranian retaliation came after US military struck a residential building in Kouhestak, Sirik County, Hormozgan Province, where a wedding celebration was taking place, killing at least five people, including a child and wounding 68 others.

Iran's armed forces responded swiftly and decisively with combined missile and drone operations targeting American bases and assets across the region, inflicting extensive damage on their infrastructure, equipment, and personnel.

The strikes demonstrated Iran's ability to reach US positions far beyond the Persian Gulf, shattering the assumption that geographical distance could provide sanctuary for US forces.
