Iran’s official state broadcaster warned people to “stay away” 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.

“In response to US acts of aggression and threats from terrorist groups, Iran has launched missile strikes targeting Sulaymaniyah (Iraq) and Bahrain,” Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting claimed. “People should stay away from US bases.”

“If you want to remain safe from Iran’s missiles, summon your #courage and assert your #independence, and shut down U.S. military bases on your territory,” it added, encouraging US allies in the region to abandon Washington.

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.

US Central Command declined to provide an assessment of damages, but on Friday told The Post “US forces in the region remain fully operational.”

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