Iran launches ballistic missile salvo at Bahrain and Kuwait
Iran fired seven ballistic missiles targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on June 6, drawing condemnation from Gulf monarchies. CENTCOM reported that six missiles were successfully intercepted by air defense systems, while one fell short of its target. Bahrain reported hearing explosions in the capital, Manama, as air raid sirens sounded. The attack followed US strikes on Iranian radar facilities and has severely undermined diplomatic efforts in Cairo to secure a broader regional peace agreement.
