@politicos_daily: Middle East on High Alert As Iran Reportedly Retaliates Over Shahid Haqgani Port Strike Tensions across the Middle East have surged to critical levels amid reports that Iran has launched retaliatory strikes targeting suspected US intelligence and military installations, following American air attacks that damaged the strategic Shahid Haqgani Port and other sites in southern Iran. US Central Command confirmed it carried out large‑scale strikes on more than 80 targets across Iran’s coastal regions on July 7, including infrastructure linked to the Shahid Haqgani facility — actions Washington said were in response to recent assaults on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran described the port attack as an act of aggression against vital national assets, and vowed an immediate response. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps later stated it had hit US‑related sites across the region: Patriot air defence systems in Kuwait, an early‑warning satellite installation in Qatar, and military fuel depots in Bahrain — locations widely identified as key nodes in US intelligence and surveillance networks covering the Gulf. Multiple sources report missile and drone fire, with air defence systems activated across all three host countries. No official confirmation has yet been issued by the United States or host governments verifying full damage or whether intelligence centres were the primary targets. The situation remains extremely volatile, with regional authorities urging citizens to remain alert and follow emergency guidance. #Middl#MiddleEastTensionsR#IranRetaliationS#GulfSecurityl#IntelligenceFacilitiesi#StraitOfHormuz
