## Resource

Iran launches missiles and drones at Bahrain and Kuwait, which are intercepted by U.S. forces; Tehran blames U.S. strikes on its surveillance sites near Qeshm Island and Sirik, calling them a ceasefire violation. The U.S. responds by targeting Iranian radar installations to protect maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran claims it targeted U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain — though no U.S. personnel were harmed. Tensions spike after Iranian drones strike Kuwait’s airport, killing one and injuring dozens. The U.S. continues its port blockade, disrupting global oil flows and fueling energy price hikes. Despite this, President Trump remains optimistic about a potential Iran deal, with negotiators reportedly nearing a 60-day ceasefire extension — though disagreements persist over Iran’s public stance and unresolved conditions. Meanwhile, the Lebanon conflict, involving Israeli forces and Hezbollah, further complicates peace efforts, as Iran insists any truce must include Lebanon — a condition Hezbollah rejects despite a U.S.-brokered agreement between Lebanon and Israel.
