Iran launched missiles and drones at four US-aligned Arab states Sunday evening, according to a report, after American forces struck approximately 140 military targets inside Iran. Three people, including a child, were injured in Qatar, and Oman summoned Iran’s ambassador in protest.
This evening's missile and drone strikes on Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar represent a major escalation in the ongoing US-Iran confrontation. According to a report, the attacks came in retaliation for American airstrikes that hit approximately 140 military targets inside Iran earlier Sunday. The strikes expand the theater of conflict beyond the Gulf states previously targeted in earlier waves.
Earlier today, The Zioneer reported that Iran had struck US installations in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar after American forces hit over 100 Iranian targets overnight. The current wave adds Jordan and Oman to the list of targeted countries. Three people, including a child, were injured in Qatar, and Oman summoned Iran’s ambassador in protest, signaling growing diplomatic fallout.
The report warns that the battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz now threatens to engulf the wider region. The US has not yet issued an official response to the latest attacks. The situation remains fluid, with further developments expected.
