Saudi Arabia also launched strikes on Saturday at Iran in retaliation to the missiles that were launched by Iran at the bases in the various US-allied Arab nations.
Following strikes from the US and Israel on Iran, the Iranian regime launched retaliatory strikes at US naval bases in various Arab states in the Middle East. State media in Iran claimed that one person was killed from the retaliatory strikes in Abu Dhabi, but did not give any details, per the Jerusalem Post.
Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, and Jordan have also said they intercepted Iranian missiles. This comes after President Donald Trump announced the join US-Israel strikes against Iran early on Saturday morning.
"A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. A vicious group of very hard, terrible people. Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world," Trump said.
"To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity. Or in the alternative, face certain death. So, lay down your arms. You will be treated fairly with total immunity, or you will face certain death. Finally, to the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don’t leave your home. It’s very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations," he later added.
