Overnight Saturday, U.S. and Iranian forces launched a series of retaliatory strikes across the Gulf, severely damaging Kuwait’s international airport and killing one person.
U.S. Central Command reported intercepting drones and missiles aimed at Bahrain and Kuwait while striking Iranian coastal radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed the attacks were a response to U.S. interference with maritime traffic and previous strikes on Iranian infrastructure. The escalation marks the most violent breach of a shaky ceasefire recently brokered to end the regional conflict.
International mediators are now racing to prevent the skirmishes from devolving into a full-scale war as peace talks in the region stall.
