Iran launches drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait after US airstrikes hit targets in Iran, according to reports from multiple outlets. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is said to be behind the attacks, which occur as the region faces renewed tension around maritime access in the Persian Gulf. The developments follow efforts by a multinational maritime body overseen by the US Navy to expand a shipping route near Oman that would allow inbound and outbound traffic. Iran opposes changes that would remove its direct role in overseeing the Strait of Hormuz and has insisted that, after the war, Iran should govern the strait. Reports say the dispute over control of the narrow passage—through which a significant share of global oil and gas flows—has contributed to earlier incidents, including attacks on vessels using routes on the Omani side of the strait that are backed by a United Nations-linked agency. Iran also threatens to halt negotiations to end the war if US strikes continue, framing its response as retaliation for US actions. The reported attacks raise the risk of further escalation between Iran, Gulf states, and the United States.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard launched drone and missile attacks Sunday targeting Bahrain and Kuwait in response to U.S. airstrikes that hit the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” could come to negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks. Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran's direct oversight sparked the crossfire now gripping the region. A multinational maritime body overseen by the U.S. Navy said Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman to allow for both inbound and outbound traffic, setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran. Iran insists that after the war it alone must govern the strait, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf that once carried a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas. The global community has long considered the strait an international passageway, despite its sitting in Iran and Oman's territorial waters. In recent days, Tehran has twice attacked vessels going through a route on the Omani side of the strait backed by a United Nations agency. Strikes target Gulf s
