Iran Counter Strikes

I am unable to vet this information - but merely post it as it presents across Iranian news feeds:

Urgent | Iranian Shura Council President Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf: America has not yet learned that bullying and breaking covenants come at a price If you strike, you will receive strikes The Strait of Hormuz will not be opened except by Iranian arrangements, not by American threats

Sources: No attacks on central or deep Iran so far And according to circulating information, the attacks have focused up to this moment on the southern coasts and islands, contrary to some media reports

Bahrain:

Initial reports indicate: - Targeting of the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in the Juffair area. - Violent and ongoing explosions. - Outbreaks of fires around the base. - Continued operation of air defense systems to intercept missiles. - No official casualty figures for damages yet.

Kuwait:

Initial reports indicate: - Targeting of U.S. military bases inside Kuwait. - Repeated explosions in several areas. - Activation of Patriot systems to intercept missiles. - Ongoing air raid sirens. - Rerouting of flights heading to Kuwait. - Developments are still ongoing pending official statements.

Qatar:

According to circulating information: - The Ministry of Interior has raised the security threat level. - Citizens and residents have been urged to remain in their homes and safe places. - This comes concurrently with the missile attack targeting U.S. bases in the Gulf region, as official authorities continue to monitor developments in the situation.

The Hashemite Kingdom:

Moments of tension in eastern Jordan… Air raid sirens blare inside a base hosting U.S. forces The skies over the region enter a new phase of tension… Air alert at a sensitive base east of Jordan opens the door to questions about the nature of the looming threat.

Iran swats back with this:

Trump posted a message on his social network "Truth Social" warning Iran, and amusingly, this fool used an image generated by artificial intelligence to demonstrate the power of the attacks.

* The image does look like it is AI-generated. It is just "too perfect".

I doubt Tehran is done with us yet. And as stated in a previous post: Fool's errand on our part. We certainly lack an understanding of the Shi'a side of the house. And as we continue to deplete our missile stockpiles, I am sure that China and Russia are applauding in the background.
