‘They Were Slightly Provoked’: Trump Downplays Iran’s Attacks Targeting US Bases in Kuwait and Bahrain
Tehran said the barrage targeted U.S. military sites after recent attacks, while Kuwait said one Indian national was killed and about 60 people were hurt.
- On Wednesday, Iran launched missile and drone strikes against Kuwait and Bahrain, targeting American military facilities. The attack on Kuwait's airport killed one Indian national and injured about 60 people.

- The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated the retaliatory strikes "should serve as a lesson" against unprovoked attacks on Iran's facilities, escalating tensions three months after initial military engagements.
