Tehran says any facility or base in the Middle East used by the US military to launch attacks on Iran is a legitimate target for retaliation.
Iran's military said on Friday that it had targeted US military bases in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait in retaliation for Washington's latest strikes on the country.

"This morning, the fuel tanks, large equipment warehouses and silos, and the barracks of the US terrorist army forces at the Isa Air Base in Bahrain were targeted by Arash kamikaze drones," the Iranian army said in a statement carried by state TV.
The US has not confirmed that any of its facilities or personnel were targeted.
Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guards also claimed they had targeted an Amazon data centre in Bahrain, according to state media. Neither the US tech giant nor Bahraini authorities have commented on the claim.
An explosion and warning sirens were reported in Bahrain on Friday, although it was not immediately clear whether the two incidents were connected.
Bahrain later said it intercepted and destroyed "a number of Iranian aerial aggressions", accusing Tehran of targeting civilians.
The Iranian army also claimed it had carried out drone attacks against Jordan, targeting "aircraft hangars, aviation maintenance hangars and a barracks" at Al-Azraq base.
Jordan's military said it had intercepted seven missiles and six drones fired by Iran on Friday, saying the operation "resulted in no casualties or material damage".
In a separate statement, the Iranian army said it had also launched drones targeting US equipment warehouses at Camp Udairi, as well as American military personnel stationed at Camp Doha and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards, the military's ideological arm, separately claimed they had targeted Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, saying they destroyed an ammunition depot and inflicted casualties among US personnel.
They also said they had struck equipment storage silos at Camp Udairi in Kuwait and a US Fifth Fleet watchtower in Bahrain.
Ali Abdollahi, head of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya central military command, warned US personnel in the region on Friday that Iran had "prepared free, one-way tickets to hell for you".
"For every proud citizen of the Islamic Republic of Iran who is martyred, one American service member will be sent to hell," he was quoted as saying by the state broadcaster.
