Summary
Tensions explode across the Persian Gulf as U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets trigger a furious retaliatory barrage of drones and missiles, hitting U.S. allies like Bahrain and Kuwait — with Bahrain accusing Iran of targeting civilians and Kuwait reporting a fire in its capital. This escalation follows earlier clashes: U.S. strikes on Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian missile attacks on American bases in Jordan, and drone interceptions by UAE and Iraq — including explosive-laden drones seized near Irbil. The U.S. insists its strikes targeted only military assets like radar systems and air defenses, denying civilian casualties — though Iranian media claims one strike hit a wedding party. Iran confirms losses among its Revolutionary Guard and Basij forces. Mediators like Pakistan scramble to calm tensions, while oil prices surge past $95 a barrel. All this comes amid escalating U.S. economic pressure on Iran, demanding concessions over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — and President Trump reveals the U.S. struck radar systems Iran was nearly finished rebuilding, waiting for them to be complete before acting.
