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

Iran said the attacks were retaliation for U.S. strikes, while Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates intercepted many of the incoming missiles and drones.

  • On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, U.S. forces executed a six-hour campaign against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps radar, air defense, and maritime sites near the Strait of Hormuz to protect commercial shipping and American personnel.
  • The strikes ended a monthlong lull in fighting after Iran attempted to plant sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz and launched missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan, marking the sharpest escalation in weeks.
  • Iranian officials reported that a U.S. strike killed four people at a wedding in Kuhestak, prompting Iran to launch ballistic missiles and drones at bases in Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain in what it called 'severe punishment.'
  • Brent crude climbed above $95 per barrel as President Donald Trump warned Iran of attacks at a 'much harder and higher level' if retaliation continued, while dismissing prospects for diplomatic negotiations.
  • Neighboring states face risks of becoming collateral battlegrounds as the conflict threatens to expand beyond bilateral clashes, complicating regional stability in the Middle East and raising fears of a wider war.
