Iran launches renewed attacks on U.S. Gulf allies and Jordan after a seventh consecutive night of U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets. Multiple reports describe U.S. actions as targeting Iranian military sites and capabilities, including surveillance and logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime-related assets. In response, Iran strikes at Gulf states, with Kuwait described as coming under sustained attack. Reports say a desalination plant in Kuwait is hit and that Kuwait International Airport suspends operations amid repeated missile and drone threats. Another area of reported contention is maritime security around the Strait of Hormuz: the U.S. says it enforces a naval blockade and Iran says it targets vessels that violate its navigation rules. Several outlets frame the renewed exchanges as escalation following the collapse of a fragile ceasefire agreement that had been reached about a week earlier. Separately, Iranian state-affiliated sources claim Iran destroys U.S. aircraft during missile and drone attacks. Overall, the reports depict ongoing tit-for-tat strikes involving military sites and pressure on regional infrastructure and shipping.
