Iran targets U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait after wave of US strikes
U.S. Central Command said the strikes were meant to impose heavy costs after attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran launched drones and missiles targeting 85 U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait following recent U.S. strikes against Iran, including the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters and Ali Al Salem airbase.
Air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain and Kuwait as their air defenses actively intercepted hostile missile and drone attacks and advised residents to seek shelter.
The U.S. military conducted strikes on over 80 targets in Iran in response to Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, as stated by U.S. Central Command.
David Des Roches explained that Iran violated its memorandum of understanding by attacking ships and blocking shipping channels in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the U.S. to lift sales waivers on Iranian oil and target Iran's attack capabilities.
