five country retaliation

US attacks kill 12 in Iran as Tehran strikes bases in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq

Iran retaliated on Sept 2 against US-linked bases across four countries simultaneously: Camp Titin and Prince Hassan airbase in Jordan, Sheikh Isa in Bahrain, Ali al-Salem in Kuwait, and Erbil in Iraq. The single-window widening of the war to five territories is the structural fact scored here. Casualty counts on every side are contested between US, Iranian and host-government statements and are not used as levels.
