Iran launched a missile attack on US military bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, according to reports. The attack followed a new wave of US strikes on Iranian targets overnight. Israel was not involved in the exchanges, but analysts assess it may be drawn into the escalating conflict.
Iran launched a missile attack on US military bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait early Monday, according to reports, in retaliation for a fresh wave of US strikes on Iranian targets overnight. No casualties or damage have been reported so far.
The overnight US strikes, the latest in a sustained campaign, were completed around 05:49 Jerusalem time, as The Zioneer reported. They followed an earlier wave of strikes on Iranian positions near the Strait of Hormuz that began around midnight. The US military has stated its objective is to ensure freedom of navigation in the strategic waterway, which Iran has threatened.
Iran's missile response targeted multiple US facilities across the region, marking a significant escalation. The US has not yet confirmed the extent of the attacks or whether any of its assets were struck.
Israel, which has been largely excluded from the recent rounds of fighting, remains on edge. Analysts quoted by the desk assess that it is likely only a matter of time before the Jewish state is pulled back into the broader confrontation, given the proximity of the conflict and Iran's stated hostility toward Israel.
