War flared again in the Middle East after Iran’s attack on the Indian naval ship in Hormuz. America carried out drone and missile attacks on 140 places including Kesham, Sirik, Bandar Abbas, Jask, Bushehr in Iran on Sunday. In response to this, Iran started a random attack on the entire Middle East. On Monday, the IRGC carried out drone and missile attacks on US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The attack virtually destroyed America’s Patriot missile systems, ammunition depots and drone infrastructure in the Middle East.

Iran has responded to the US attack by attacking US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. There have also been attacks in Qatar, Oman and Jordan. According to the IRGC, fuel tanks and Patriot air defense systems at Kuwait’s Ali al-Salem air base and radar systems at Ahmed al-Jaber air base were targeted. Earlier, Iran also claimed responsibility for the attack on the Isa Air Base in Bahrain. A US military helicopter maintenance facility, a P-8 aircraft hangar and a US military drone command and control center were destroyed here, the IRGC said. Meanwhile, Mohsen Rezaei, adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, said the Strait of Hormuz is more important to Iran than nuclear bombs. According to ISNA news agency, Rezaei said Iran will protect the Strait of Hormuz at any cost.

It should be noted that Iran attacked a Cypriot-flagged cargo ship near the coast of Oman on Sunday morning. Tehran claimed that the ship was passing through that route without valid permission. After the Iranian attack, 10 of the 11 Indians on board were rescued, but one was never found. New Delhi strongly condemned the attack. After that, the fire of war flared up again. After this attack, America attacked 140 places in Iran again. At the same time, the US Central Command said, ‘The Strait of Hormuz is not under the control of Iran. This important waterway is fully open for navigation. And US forces are fully prepared to maintain naval traffic.’

However, Iran is not an exception. Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said on Sunday that America had withdrawn from the agreement. He warned on social media, “The days of one-sided agreements are over. We said, keep your word or pay the price. The reality is here.” At the same time, it said, “America and its adversaries will suffer the consequences of any attack, and we will respond more strongly if these attacks are repeated.”
