Iran attacks military sites in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar after fresh US strikes

Iran said its missile and drone strikes hit U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar after Washington targeted about 90 sites across Iran.

  • On Thursday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched missile and drone attacks against U.S. military sites in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar, claiming it "smashed important infrastructure" in retaliation for recent American airstrikes.
  • These retaliatory strikes followed a Wednesday operation where U.S. Central Command hit about 90 Iranian military targets to "further degrade Iran's ability to threaten freedom of navigation" in the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Iran's Health Ministry reported 14 deaths and 78 injuries from two days of airstrikes, while Kuwaiti armed forces engaged 10 drones and several missiles in their airspace, resulting in one injury from falling shrapnel.
  • President Donald Trump declared the interim ceasefire "over" on Wednesday, while Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned, "If you strike, you'll get hit," as both sides abandoned the diplomatic memorandum.
  • Oil markets remain volatile as Iran prepares to bury Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, with investors monitoring whether the escalation represents a temporary tactical flare-up or a complete ceasefire collapse.
