Chapter 1: What triggered Iran's retaliatory strikes against U.S. military interests?
Iran has just launched powerful retaliatory strikes against the United States military interests in the Middle East following United States strikes against Iranian interest in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran struck American military interests in Bahrain, in Jordan and Kuwait. We're getting the following statement right now from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Here's the statement that they just published. The IRGC Navy has completed an operation against 21 targets. at American-era naval bases across the Middle East, the IRGC says, including the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain and an air base in Jordan.
The operation, which they claim was carried out using drones and long-range missiles, targeted and destroyed four important targets at these bases, including a command center and several hangars for F-35 lightnings,
uh in jordan they're claiming that they successfully hit uh these uh military bases now we can see some of the images right here in some of the video that's coming out for example here this is some video from bahrain where you can see multiple iranian ballistic missiles look at the arrow that we have right there multiple iranian ballistic missile interceptions but also
ground level explosions right there in Manama in Bahrain minutes ago. That location right there in Bahrain is in the direction of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters at the Salman port. If you take a look at where that arrow is right there.

Chapter 2: What specific targets did Iran strike in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait?
Also, Iran's IRGC says it attacked the air base in Jordan with a salvo of medium range ballistic missiles. This base serves as a major staging point for the United States Air Force forces in the region, and Iran claims that they successfully struck American interests over there.
You can see some of the Patriot SAM systems engaging incoming Iranian ballistic missiles over Bahrain this morning right here. You can then see over here the ballistic missiles that Iran launched targeting the vicinity of Amman, Jordan. You can see the air defense activity right there.
Also, the IRGC is claiming that it struck down at least one additional MQ-9 Reaper moments ago over Jam County in the Bashir province of southern Iran. That brings the total MQ-9 Reapers that Iran has recently destroyed belonging to the United States somewhere between 31 and 40 MQ-9 Reapers were destroyed.
Now, you know the series of events that took place today, the United States accusing Iran of using a Shahid drone to shoot down an Apache helicopter that was loitering over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran denies that it sent a Shahi drone to shoot down this Apache. Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi did say, you know, look, there's a lot of activity happening now over the Strait of Hormuz.
And so if you want to avoid having your Apaches get shot down, you probably shouldn't have them over the Strait of Hormuz, loitering and harassing Iranian interests. That's what Iran Foreign Minister Araghchi is saying.
Other Iranian officials say that wasn't our Shahid drone and that this is being used as subterfuge or a pretext for the United States, for Trump and Netanyahu to conduct further invasions of Iran. Trump said a few hours back that he just learned about this Apache helicopter being shot down, so the United States would have to respond.
The United States struck Iran with three waves of attacks near the Strait of Hormuz. right by the Strait of Hormuz interests over there. Iran then said, okay, we're going to respond powerfully. Iran is now responding. This is what they posted. The IRGC said, in response to the enemy's malicious move, the combatants of the IRGC Navy attacked the 5th Naval Fleet of Bahrain with drones at 2.30 a.m.
Going back to that footage that I showed you, it seems that at least a number of those strikes did hit their targets while some interceptors, Patriot SAM interceptors, were able to shoot down the Iranian drones and Iranian ballistic missiles.

Chapter 3: What claims did Iran make about the effectiveness of their military operation?
What I also love is that it's dermatologist-tested and recommended, hypoallergenic, and fully machine-washable. Plus, Blissey has over 100 colors and designs, including new Wicked and Harry Potter collections, so there's something for everyone.

Personally, after sleeping on my Blissy pillowcases, my hair looks smoother in the morning, and I wake up with fewer sleep marks on my face.

We're hearing this as well from Iran media. A military insider source says Iran has targeted the nest of the U.S. F-35 fighter jets in Jordan using the K-Bar... Shikan long-range solid fuel missiles right there. Iran is also claiming that the United States strikes resulted in two water reservoirs in Suriq and Badr, Cushk, having been completely destroyed by the United States.
Efforts to provide the people with access to drinking water have begun. That's what they're reporting in Iran media reports. Right there, you can see the locations over here as well of some of the U.S. strikes in multiple waves. Jom, Bandar Abbas, Keshom, Sariq, Jask, all hit by the United States. Foreign Minister Araghchi of Iran posted the following.
Despite its defeats on the battlefield, the US opted to test our determination. Our powerful armed forces will leave no attack or threat unanswered. Leave our region if you want to be safe. He also posted the following. The Strait of Hormuz is not international waters, but shared between Iran and Oman and located thousands of miles away from US shores. Maritime boundaries are crystal clear.
Our powerful armed forces are on constant alert for any violation of Iran's airspace, land, or waters. Foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk on account of their own human errors, plane accidents, or potentially being caught in crossfire to reduce risk
The best solution is for foreign forces to exit as soon as possible, an environment which will never be hospitable to hostile presence. Iran prefers the language of diplomacy. However, as our brave warriors have shown to the world, we know how to speak other languages too. That coming from Iran's foreign minister. Now, what's Donald Trump doing?
Donald Trump is posting videos of the show West Wing. Yeah, moments ago, Donald Trump posted video clips from the TV show. It's been off the air for quite some time. The West Wing and Donald Trump repost something that says the mission is a proportional response with a question mark. And then it shows footage from the TV show West Wing. Then Donald Trump also reposts.
