Escalation: Iran Attacks Kuwait and Bahrain After US Strikes

Hours after fresh U.S. strikes on Iranian sites near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran launched combined missile and drone attacks at Bahrain and Kuwait early Sunday. Sirens sounded in Kuwait City and in Bahrain as the barrages came in.

Kuwait’s air defenses intercepted incoming missiles and drones, including two ballistic missiles, and reported no damage. Bahrain reported drones and ballistic missiles over its territory; a residential building was hit, with no loss of life.

Tehran paired the strikes with a warning that talks to end the war would stop if U.S. attacks continued. Iran’s foreign minister also asserted that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen under Iranian administration only.
