Air raid sirens sound in Bahrain and Kuwait after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they carry out missile and drone attacks on U.S. military sites in the Gulf. Multiple outlets describe the Iranian action as retaliation for a new round of U.S. strikes on Iran, which the United States conducts after attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Reuters-cited reporting says the Revolutionary Guards target locations including Bandar Salman and Bahrain’s Fifth Naval District, as well as Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, and they also report shooting down a U.S. MQ9 drone that they say was attempting to interfere. Kuwaiti authorities report confronting “hostile” missile and drone attacks. Other accounts add that the broader U.S. campaign involves strikes on Iran-linked military-related targets, and that the situation escalates amid a fragile ceasefire, with Iran also asserting strikes on multiple countries and more than one U.S. facility being hit. The reports collectively portray a deterioration in the ceasefire and an intensifying cycle of action and retaliation centered on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
