Iran targets U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait after wave of US strikes
- On Tuesday, Qatar blamed Iran for a drone strike on the LNG tanker Al Rekayyat in the Strait of Hormuz, where the captain reported an engine room fire in a recorded radio call.
- The attack occurred during a mourning period for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as regional tensions persist despite a stalling 60-day interim peace deal reached last month.
- United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations sources reported a Saudi-flagged tanker, likely the Wedyan, was also damaged off Oman, while a U.S. official alleged Iran fired at two commercial vessels.
- Following the incident, Qatar summoned Iran's deputy ambassador to protest the 'unacceptable attack,' as global oil prices rose more than 2% on Tuesday in response to the incidents.
- Diplomacy remains stalled as President Donald Trump recently threatened on Monday to 'finish the job' if negotiations fail, while the United States continues seeking a deal to curb Iran's nuclear program.
