Iran launches attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain following US strikes

Iran has escalated tensions by launching ballistic missiles and drones at US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait, following US strikes on Iranian targets in response to prior drone attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Bahrain and Kuwait condemned these actions as violations of sovereignty, while the US Central Command stated the strikes targeted Iranian military sites after an attack on a Panama-flagged oil tanker. The ongoing conflict threatens a fragile ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran established earlier this month.
