Iran attacks Bahrain and Kuwait following US strikes, threatens to end talks to end the war

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the strikes were retaliation for U.S. attacks on military sites and commercial shipping, raising fears the ceasefire will collapse.

  • Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched large-scale missile and drone strikes targeting America's primary military hubs in Kuwait and Bahrain, directly striking near the Ali Al Salem Air Base and the US Fifth Fleet naval base.
  • The Iranian barrage came in direct retaliation for a wave of US airstrikes ordered by President Donald Trump, which targeted 10 Iranian coastal radar sites, surveillance infrastructure, and drone storage facilities.
  • Washington's initial airstrikes were triggered after Iranian forces violated a fragile ceasefire by using an attack drone to strike the "M/T Kiku," a Panama-flagged oil tanker transporting millions of barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Following the retaliation, the Revolutionary Guard issued a severe warning that any continued American military aggression will lead to a complete halt of ongoing diplomatic peace negotiations in Switzerland aimed at permanently ending the war.
  • While Kuwaiti air defenses aggressively engaged and intercepted incoming threats, Bahraini authorities activated emergency air-raid sirens as an Iranian strike heavily damaged the upper floor of an eight-story residential building near its international airport.
