Iran has started its attacks against US targets in the Middle East, the Press TV channel reported.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed earlier in the day that the US military had started another wave of strikes against targets in Iran after the Islamic Republic’s elite military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), fired shots at a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier reports said blasts were heard in the Iranian port cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik on the country’s southern coast, as well as in Chabahar in the southeast. Also, explosions were reported on the Qeshm island, in the city of Asaluyeh and in several districts of the Bushehr province.

    [2026-07-12] TASS – Ministry: UAE air defenses repel missile, drone attack from Iran

    Air defenses of the United Arab Emirates are repelling an attack of missiles and drones coming from the direction of Iran, the country’s Defense Ministry said.

    “At this point, the UAE’s air defenses are repelling strikes of missiles and drones, launched from the direction of Iran,” the ministry said.

    Also, civil defense sirens sounded in Bahrain. Besides, sounds of explosions, presumably caused by air defenses engaging targets, were heard in Qatar’s capital Doha. The news came shortly after Iran’s Press TV channel reported that the Islamic Republic had started its attacks against US targets in the Middle East.

    [2026-07-12] TASS – Ministry: civil defense sirens activated in Bahrain, residents told to take shelter

    Civil defense sirens have been activated in Bahrain, and residents are advised to take shelter in protected spaces, the country’s Interior Ministry said.

    “The siren has been sounded. Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place,” the ministry said in a statement, posted on the X social network.

    The news came shortly after Iran’s Press TV channel reported that the Islamic Republic had started its attacks against US targets in the Middle East.

    Remember how TASS works, they just reiterate claims 90% of the time, be they US, Iran, Ukraine, Israel, anybody. So if UAE says they maintained their flawless air defense record, they’ll report it
