The US military struck dozens of targets along the Iranian coast in the Persian Gulf overnight, according to reports. Iran retaliated, hitting Kuwait, which the report says is being used by the US to launch ballistic missiles into Iran. The strikes follow a days-long campaign of US operations against Iranian military infrastructure.
The latest report, published early Friday morning, claims that US forces struck dozens of targets along the entire Iranian coastline in the Persian Gulf overnight, and that Iran retaliated by striking Kuwait. The report also states that the US is launching surface-to-surface ballistic missiles from Kuwait into Iran. This follows earlier reports covered by The Zioneer: on Friday morning, Iran struck US bases in Kuwait with drones, and the US military announced another wave of strikes on Iranian targets. The current report is from a single source and has not been independently verified. The US and Iran have been engaged in sustained military exchanges for over a week, with the US conducting multiple consecutive nights of airstrikes on Iranian coastal defenses, missile sites, and naval facilities, and Iran retaliating against US targets in the region.
