Iran has reportedly attacked the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, hitting communication antennas and radar facilities. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary guard Corps claim that they had struck bases in Kuwait and Bahrain in response to the latest U.S. strikes.

The Iranian Navy said it hit 2 ships trying to sail through the Strait of Hormuz and claimed that the strait is now ‘completely closed to all types of vessel’

Iran also announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial traffic and oil tankers, warning that any vessels attempting to pass will be targetted.

But U.S. Centcom denied this, saying “commercial ships are continuing to transit in and out of the Strait of Hormuz tonight.”

An air raid alert was issued in Bahrain and residents have been urged to “remain calm and head to the nearest safe place.”

U.S. military says it has completed new wave of strikes.
