U.S.-Iran clashes escalate as Kuwait airport attack kills one
The United States carried out self-defense strikes on an Iranian ground-control station on Qeshm Island after Iran fired missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain. Iran retaliated with missiles and drones targeting Bahrain and Kuwait; some missiles failed or were intercepted, while Iranian drones hit Kuwait International Airport, killing an Indian national and injuring 63 people, prompting flight suspensions. Bahrain intercepted missiles and drones with no reported casualties. Iran’s IRGC claimed strikes on the U.S. Fifth Fleet HQ in Bahrain and an American air base. Talks between the United States and Iran remain deadlocked as regional tensions escalate.
