Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that the Islamic Republic's armed forces are focused on targeting only those facilities utilized by the United States to conduct attacks on Iran. This declaration comes amid heightened tensions following recent military actions in the region. Araghchi emphasized that these strikes are part of Iran's self-defense strategy against US aggression, which he claims includes violations of ceasefire agreements and attacks on civilian shipping. He warned that any further aggression from the US or its ally Israel would provoke a strong response from Iran. In a recent development, the US Central Command reported striking a ground command post on Qeshm Island after intercepting missiles and drones launched from Iranian territory. In retaliation, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for missile and drone attacks against the headquarters of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and a US airbase in the region. The US military also announced the successful interception of multiple Iranian UAVs that were targeting US forces stationed in Kuwait, indicating a significant escalation in hostilities between the two nations.
