Iran launched missiles toward four Gulf states, according to reports, following a new wave of U.S. airstrikes on Iranian military targets. The strikes come amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing exchanges between Washington and Tehran.
The missile launch, reported Monday afternoon, targeted Jordan, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait. The attack followed a new wave of U.S. airstrikes on dozens of Iranian military targets, including missile and maritime sites, according to reports. Those strikes were in retaliation for an Iranian attack on a Cyprus-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has slowed amid the escalating confrontation, and oil prices rose to approximately $79 per barrel. The Zioneer has previously reported on the earlier rounds of strikes and retaliations in the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf.
