Iran launched more attacks on US allies in the Gulf and Jordan on Saturday, striking a desalination plant in Kuwait and forcing the suspension of operations at Kuwait International Airport due to repeated missile and drone threats, according to reports. The attacks come after a seventh straight night of US strikes on Iranian military targets, a week after a ceasefire collapsed.
Iran launched sustained attacks on Kuwait on Saturday, hitting a desalination plant and forcing the suspension of operations at Kuwait International Airport due to repeated missile and drone threats, according to reports. The attacks also targeted other US allies in the Gulf and Jordan.
The strikes come amid a broader escalation that has seen repeated Iranian attacks on Gulf states and US targets since the collapse of a ceasefire a week ago. As The Zioneer reported, Iran previously launched missile strikes on Gulf states and Jordan on July 12, attacked oil tankers off Oman and in the UAE on July 14, and claimed hits on naval bases and industrial zones in Bahrain on July 15. The US has conducted seven consecutive nights of strikes on Iranian military infrastructure.
Details on damage and casualties from Saturday's attacks remain unconfirmed. The extent of the disruption to Kuwait International Airport's operations is also unclear.
