In response to a combined offensive by the United States and Israel, Iran has carried out reprisal attacks in multiple locations across the Middle East. Iran's Revolutionary Guard initiated rocket assaults on American military facilities throughout the Gulf area, as Iranian troops simultaneously attacked a U.S. naval base located in Bahrain.
