🛡️ IRGC COMMANDER VOWS RETALIATION: IRGC Ground Force Commander Gen. Karami inspected operational units along Iran’s Persian Gulf coastline and strategic islands, emphasizing continuous readiness, specialized training and a strengthened military presence.

💥 IRAN CLAIMS STRIKES ACROSS BAHRAIN, KUWAIT AND JORDAN: Iranian state media issued the following operational assessment: “In the past 24 hours, 4 bases in Bahrain, 5 bases in Kuwait, and 2 bases in Jordan have been targeted by missile and drone attacks by our country's armed forces.”

New explosions were also reported in Kuwait.

🔥 KUWAITI POWER AND WATER FACILITIES HIT: Iranian attacks struck several Kuwaiti electricity-generation and water-desalination plants yesterday evening, causing fires at multiple facilities, according to Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy.

Emergency teams extinguished the fires and began repairs. Several generating units were taken offline as a precaution to protect equipment and maintain the stability of Kuwait’s electricity and water systems.

❌ U.S. EXPANDS SANCTIONS ON IRAN: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said China has substantially reduced its purchases of Iranian oil as Washington expanded sanctions targeting Iran’s petroleum and digital-asset sectors.

The Treasury designated more than 50 individuals, entities and vessels connected to the network of Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, son of Iranian security official Ali Shamkhani. The action brought the total sanctioned under the network to more than 200.

Authorities also froze more than $130 million held in digital wallets linked to Iran’s Central Bank, targeting sanctions-evasion channels used to fund IRGC operations.

The measures follow four consecutive days of U.S. strikes, the reimposition of a naval blockade and Iranian retaliatory attacks on shipping after Tehran began blocking transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
