Iran\u2019s official state broadcaster warned people to \u201cstay away\u201d from American military bases on Saturday as Tehran escalated its attacks in the Gulf region and formally suspended its commitment to the US-Iran memorandum of understanding it had violated from the start.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response to US acts of aggression and threats from terrorist groups, Iran has launched missile strikes targeting Sulaymaniyah (Iraq) and Bahrain,\u201d Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting claimed. \u201cPeople should stay away from US bases.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to remain safe from Iran\u2019s missiles, summon your #courage and assert your #independence, and shut down U.S. military bases on your territory,\u201d it added, encouraging US allies in the region to abandon Washington.<\/p>\n

Iran has launched missile and drone strikes against American military facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, since Friday night, while also hitting Saudi infrastructure and sites in Iraq.<\/p>\n

US Central Command declined to provide an assessment of damages, but on Friday told The Post \u201cUS forces in the region remain fully operational.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tehran also targeted Kuwaiti oil, power and water desalination facilities, escalating its bombing campaign to include critical civilian infrastructure alongside military targets.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi on Saturday said Iran had \u201csuspended our commitments\u201d to the MOU with the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not implementing them, and we are busy defending the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the attacks were carried out in retaliation for recent US military operations against Iran, describing the strikes as part of its response to what it claimed was \u201cAmerican aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s armed forces said they intercepted a number of missiles and drones that entered the kingdom\u2019s airspace, adding that the military acted to protect the country\u2019s sovereignty and the safety of its citizens.<\/p>\n

Kuwaiti authorities reported damage to infrastructure, including power and desalination facilities, while emphasizing that emergency services were responding and working to restore affected services.<\/p>\n

Iranian professor Mohammad Marandi on Saturday said that \u201cIf Trump continues to strike civilian targets, the UAE will be next\u201d \u2014 despite White House spokesperson Anna Kelly telling The Post that the US was only hitting military targets in Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States Military has carried out strikes exclusively on military targets, including military logistics infrastructure,\u201d she said. \u201cIn contrast, the Iranian regime has intentionally targeted civilian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and lashed out against its neighbors who have no role in this conflict.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cPresident Trump will not allow these acts of terrorism to continue unanswered, which is why he has directed CENTCOM to degrade Iran\u2019s ability to carry out these attacks and hold the regime accountable,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The latest barrage marks one of the Iranian regime\u2019 broadest regional attacks in recent months, expanding beyond military installations to include energy and water infrastructure in Gulf states that host US forces.<\/p>\n

The attacks have also put US-Iran mediators in a predicament, challenging their neutrality that has helped bring together Washington and Tehran for continued peace talks.<\/p>\n

A child was killed in Qatar in the strikes on Friday, and Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar on Saturday dialed up Pakistani Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah to discuss \u201cserious concerns regarding the continued attacks on its territory,\u201d according to Doha and Islamabad.<\/p>\n
