Iran launches a barrage of missiles at Gulf-area countries in the Middle East on Thursday, according to reporting summarized by the New York Post. The attacks follow a second round of U.S. airstrikes. The Post links the U.S. actions to Iran’s “unwarranted and continued aggression,” and says the missile launch occurs early Thursday after American forces carry out additional strikes.
The coverage also references U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that Tehran asked him to stop the airstrikes. Despite that reported request, the reporting indicates Iran proceeds with missile attacks against a trio of U.S. allies in the region. Details such as which specific countries are targeted, the number and types of missiles used, and the extent of damage or casualties are not provided in the supplied text.
Overall, the accounts describe a rapid escalation sequence: U.S. conducts another airstrike round, and Iran responds with missiles aimed at regional partners of the United States.
