Iran's army said it targeted radar systems, a Patriot system and fuel tanks at Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait, and earlier a radar and US communications and fuel sites at Jordan's al-Azraq air base, Al Jazeera reported. Drones were reported aimed at US radars and Patriot systems at Sheikh Isa air base in Bahrain. Jordan said it intercepted eight Iranian missiles on 16 July, and Iraqi authorities said five drones attacked Erbil, two crashing near a US base and one shot down near the US consulate; Iran's army did not claim the Erbil attack. Saudi Arabia called Iran's strikes on Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait 'treacherous'; Iran says it targets only US military assets.
