On day 121 of the conflict, the United States carries out strikes for a second day near the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran launches attacks involving Bahrain and Kuwait, according to reports. Bahrain says air-raid sirens sound during the incident, and Kuwait activates air defences after receiving reports of incoming missiles. Kuwait also reports intercepting two ballistic missiles. International responses described in the coverage include Kuwait condemning the attack on its territory and Gulf and Arab states issuing statements denouncing Iran’s latest strikes. The reporting also references that US strikes occur in close proximity to the Hormuz area and that the escalation involves military actions affecting regional security. Across sources, the common elements are the US strike activity near Hormuz, Iran’s claimed or reported missile attacks reaching or targeting Bahrain and Kuwait, and the activation of air-defence measures and missile interceptions in Kuwait, alongside regional condemnation statements.
