Iran says it targeted U.S. assets in Kuwait and Bahrain

Iran said it launched attacks on U.S. military assets in Kuwait and Bahrain after recent U.S. strikes on Iranian targets. State media reported drone strikes on facilities at Kuwait’s Ahmad alJaber Air Base and on U.S. sites at Bahrain’s Sheikh Isa Air Base. The report came as tensions between the U.S. and Iran intensified again, with both sides carrying out strikes in the region. The article also noted that Egypt said a drone hit two ships at its Mediterranean port of Damietta, an incident that widened concerns about attacks on shipping and energy infrastructure. Oil prices rose after reports that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard had stopped tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, though CNBC said it could not verify the claim independently. The story also cited analysts warning that the conflict is increasing maritime risk across several major waterways.
