Iran Launches “Bashayer al-Fath” Operation Against U.S. Bases in the Gulf — “Missile Strikes Documented. 

The Iranian Armed Forces have officially announced the launch of Operation “Bashayer al-Fath” (Glad Tidings of Victory), a large-scale retaliatory offensive targeting U.S. military bases across the Gulf region. The move comes in response to recent U.S. aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and was described as a direct and forceful missile response.

Precision Strikes on Multiple U.S. Bases

According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, the missile attacks struck U.S. bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar — with the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar being one of the primary targets. Iranian sources confirmed the use of high-precision missiles aimed at critical U.S. military installations, emphasizing the accuracy and effectiveness of the strikes.

Explosions were reportedly heard in the Qatari capital, Doha, amid unconfirmed reports of U.S. troops fleeing to shelters across multiple bases. Iranian outlets warned that this could be only the beginning of a wider escalation.

Footage and Confirmation from Iranian State Media

Iranian state television confirmed that the strikes fall under Operation Bashayer al-Fath, marking the start of a coordinated military campaign in retaliation for American airstrikes and cyber attacks that had recently targeted Iranian military and nuclear facilities.

U.S. Media and Alarms Across the Region

American media outlets reported that sirens were activated at several U.S. military bases across the Middle East. Some sources also reported casualties among American personnel, although no official statement had been issued at the time of reporting.

Key Targets Hit

In addition to Al-Udeid, Tasnim News confirmed that the missile barrage also targeted:

• Ain al-Asad Air Base in Iraq

• U.S. military installations in Kuwait

• Strategic sites in Bahrain

These strikes reportedly inflicted “painful blows” to U.S. forces in the region, marking one of the most direct Iranian offensives against American assets to date.

This operation signals a dramatic escalation in regional tensions, with Iran clearly indicating it is prepared for open confrontation if provoked—and now willing to take that confrontation well beyond its borders.
