Iran Launches Retaliatory Drone and Missile Attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain

Iran carried out a second consecutive night of drone and missile strikes against U.S. regional allies, specifically targeting military and infrastructure sites in Kuwait and Bahrain. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense labeled the assault "blatant Iranian aggression." The escalation follows U.S. Central Command strikes on IRGC assets in the Strait of Hormuz and an incident in Sirik where Iran alleges a U.S. missile struck a wedding party, killing four civilians and wounding dozens.
