Iran has launched missile and drone attacks targeting United States military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait, following a new wave of U.S. airstrikes on Iranian military positions linked to recent attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the operation targeted the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain and Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. The group also claimed it shot down a U.S. MQ-9 drone during the operation.
Authorities in Bahrain and Kuwait confirmed that air raid sirens were activated, while Kuwait's military said its air defense systems intercepted several incoming missiles and drones.
The latest escalation came after the United States carried out strikes against Iranian military assets, including air defense systems, missile launchers, drone sites, and naval vessels. Washington said the operation was in response to attacks on three commercial tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing Iran of violating the recent ceasefire agreement.
Iran strongly condemned the U.S. strikes, describing them as an act of aggression and warning that it would respond decisively to any further military action. Iranian officials also accused Washington of breaching the ceasefire by restoring sanctions and revoking a license that had allowed limited Iranian oil exports.
Meanwhile, explosions were reported in several southern Iranian locations, including Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Qeshm Island, and Kharg Island, an important oil export hub. Iranian state media said several civilians were injured after debris from an incoming projectile struck a commercial pier.
The renewed hostilities have raised concerns over the future of the fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire and ongoing diplomatic efforts. Oil prices climbed sharply after the United States announced it was ending the temporary authorization that allowed Iranian crude oil sales.
The latest developments have increased fears of a wider regional conflict and renewed threats to international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy transit routes.
