Iran targets U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait after wave of US strikes
CENTCOM said it hit more than 80 targets after three commercial ships were struck, as Iran warned of retaliation and oil prices jumped.
- On Wednesday, July 8, 2026, Iran's military conducted retaliatory strikes against U.S. assets in Bahrain and Kuwait, targeting 85 "key U.S. military installations" including the 5th Fleet and Ali Al Salem Air Base, state media reported.
- The strikes followed U.S. Central Command's overnight action on Tuesday, when American forces hit more than 80 Iranian targets, including air defense systems, after Tehran struck three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Wednesday morning, Kuwait Army defenses confronted "hostile missile and drone attacks," while Iran's Armed Forces announced a "new wave" of missiles targeting U.S. bases in Bahrain.
- The renewed fighting threatens to upend indirect negotiations held earlier this month in Doha, while the U.S. revoked a license that previously authorized the Islamic Republic to openly sell crude oil for dollars.
- Both nations continue to contest control of the Strait of Hormuz, a maritime chokepoint where a fifth of global oil and natural gas passed during peacetime, as both sides accuse each other of violating cease-fire conditions.
