Iran and US Exchange Military Strikes Targeting Bases in Bahrain and Kuwait
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed missile and drone strikes on US military targets in Bahrain and Kuwait, including air defence systems, radar installations, and satellite reception facilities. Iran also reported stopping two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. These attacks followed a series of US strikes on Iranian military sites, marking an escalation in the ongoing conflict. The US has conducted multiple consecutive nights of strikes aiming to weaken Iran's military capabilities and secure maritime routes. Claims of damage to Amazon's data infrastructure in Bahrain remain unverified by independent sources.
