Iran fires on Gulf neighbors after US military strikes Iranian military targets

Iran’s retaliation followed U.S. strikes on military targets and commercial shipping sites, with Gulf defenses intercepting missiles and drones, officials said.

  • U.S. forces struck Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets across Iran on Tuesday, prompting Iran to launch missile and drone attacks Wednesday against U.S. military bases in Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
  • The flare-up ended a monthlong lull in fighting over the Strait of Hormuz, where the U.S. previously targeted Iranian rocket launchers to prevent mine-laying operations and secure oil transport.
  • Iranian officials reported a U.S. strike killed at least four civilians at a wedding in Kuhestak, though U.S. Central Command denied targeting civilians, citing instead strikes on radar and air defense sites.
  • Brent crude oil prices climbed above $95 per barrel while regional militaries in Bahrain and Kuwait intercepted incoming drones, reflecting market instability amid the six-month conflict.
  • President Donald Trump warned that further Iranian retaliation would result in the country being "hit much harder," while analysts caution the cycle of strikes risks escalating into full-scale war.
