Tehran (Voice Of Russia): Explosions have been reported in Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, just as Tehran warned it would do in the event of a strike. Iran launched attacks on Saturday against U.S. Military Bases in at least four countries in the region in response to the offensive that the U.S. and Israel initiated early in the morning with the stated aim of overthrowing the Islamic Republic.\u00a0Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait were the targets of Iranian hostilities, with the outcome still uncertain. Several of these governments have announced the successful interception of missiles, although there are also images showing the impact of projectiles on areas hosting U.S. facilities in different states.<\/p>\n
The Iranian authorities had warned that any attack on their territory would automatically make both the State of Israel and Washington\u2019s bases in the region military targets. Iran put that warning into practice on Saturday. According to the Iranian news agency Farsi, the response to the U.S. and Israeli offensive includes the U.S. base at Al Ubeid, near Doha (Qatar), the Al Salem air base in Kuwait, the Al Dhafra base in the UAE, and the Fifth Fleet facilities in Jufair, a city in Bahrain where columns of smoke have been seen rising into the sky.<\/p>\n
Bahrain, through its state news agency, was the first to confirm three strikes against its territory just hours after the offensive against Iran began. At least one of these attacks targeted U.S. interests.<\/p>\n
Attacks and explosions have also been reported in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia; in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE); in Kuwait and in Qatar, according to information gathered by Reuters, AFP and the Qatari television station Al Jazeera, whose presenters were surprised during a live broadcast by the sound of alarms. These Persian Gulf countries, as well as Iraq, have reacted by ordering the closure of their airspace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
