where has iran attacked

Iran has attacked targets in Israel and at least 5–6 countries hosting United States forces in the Middle East in the latest round of conflict, mostly with ballistic missiles and drones.

Key recent attacks by Iran

  • Israel
    • Direct large-scale missile and drone attack on Israeli territory in April 2024, launched from Iran toward multiple sites inside Israel, in retaliation for an earlier strike on an Iranian diplomatic facility in Syria.
* Renewed missile strikes on Israel as part of the wider Iran–Israel war and current U.S.–Israel campaign; Iranian commanders say they are willing to keep striking Israel until their goals are met.
  • U.S. bases around the region
    Iranian forces have launched missiles at numerous American installations in several countries:
* **Bahrain** – U.S. facilities hosting naval and air assets have been among the targets.
* **United Arab Emirates** – Bases used by U.S. forces in the Gulf area.
* **Kuwait** – Installations used for logistics and support to U.S. operations.
* **Jordan** – Sites connected to U.S. presence and regional operations.
* **Saudi Arabia** – U.S. bases or facilities used by U.S. forces in the kingdom.
* IRGC‑linked outlets have claimed Iran has attacked **around 14 U.S. bases** in total so far in this campaign.

How this fits into the wider war

  • These attacks are part of a broader confrontation between Iran, Israel, and the United States, which has escalated into open strikes on Iranian territory by the U.S. and Israel in early 2026.
  • Iran frames its attacks as retaliation and as pressure to drive U.S. forces out of the region and to respond to Israeli actions.
  • The conflict has also involved Iran’s allied groups (often called “proxies”), such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, but your question here is specifically about direct Iranian attacks.

Important caveats

  • Exact details (which base, which building, precise damage) often remain unclear, because governments sometimes downplay or withhold information while fighting is ongoing.
  • Claims by any side in an active war can be exaggerated or incomplete, so numbers of bases hit or missiles fired may change as more confirmed data emerges.
