On Sunday morning, Iran launched a fresh wave of missile and drone strikes targeting US military bases across the Gulf region as well as Israel.
State media reported that the attacks were carried out in retaliation for the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian state television confirmed that approximately 27 US bases in the Gulf, along with Israel’s military headquarters and a defense industries complex in Tel Aviv, were targeted.
“A few minutes ago, pilots of the air forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran successfully bombed US bases in the countries of the Persian Gulf and in the Kurdistan region of Iraq over several phases of operations,” the Iranian army said in a statement, according to the media.
The media reports that the attack followed the death of Khamenei in a large-scale US and Israeli operation, which triggered Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes on Sunday.

Iranian state television confirmed Khamenei’s death early Sunday, shortly after US President Donald Trump announced the killing of the 86-year-old cleric, describing him as one of the most evil figures in history.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have vowed to carry out the fiercest operation in history against Israel and US bases, many of which are located in Gulf countries already grappling with the fallout from Tehran’s unprecedented attacks.
