Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it has launched retaliatory attacks against multiple nearby U.S. military bases on Feb. 28 after it faced the first strike of what the United States is calling Operation Epic Fury.

The Guard said in a statement that its campaign, True Promise 4, struck the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet Command in Bahrain, as well as U.S. bases in Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
