Iran attacks Kuwait and Bahrain in response to US strikes
Could Israel sabotage the deal? Iran has launched attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait after the United States struck five Iranian targets, escalating tensions and threatening the fragile ceasefire agreed by the two sides earlier this month. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed the attacks on Sunday, saying it launched ballistic missiles and drones at the US Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait and the US Fifth Naval Fleet at Port Salman in Bahrain. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said its navy and air force "conducted strikes tonight on 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait of Hormuz", saying the attacks were a response to an Iranian drone attack on the Kiku oil tanker. It said the Panama-flagged vessel was carrying more than two million barrels of crude oil when it was attacked as it transited near the strait early on Saturday.
