Iran fired several missiles and drones toward Bahrain and Kuwait, reportedly in response to recent U.S. strikes on Iranian targets. Bahrain officials said Iranian drones entered its airspace, while Iran claimed it was striking U.S. military bases in the region. U.S. officials say the situation is evolving and are assessing the missile and drone attacks and potential responses.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated the attacks were in response to an Iranian drone strike on the oil tanker "Stena Kairos." Kuwait’s air defense system intercepted the incoming missiles and drones, preventing damage to its territory. No U.S. personnel were reported injured.
Iran warned that any violation of the ceasefire would trigger a decisive response, and the incident has heightened tensions across the Gulf region.
