Iran attacks US Gulf allies, causing a fire at Kuwait power plant Kuwait and Bahrain report several rounds of Iranian missile, drone attacks; sirens reportedly sound in Jordan. Iran has fired drones and missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain and claimed to have stopped two ships in the Strait of Hormuz after an eighth consecutive night of attacks by the United States. Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy condemned the “heinous Iranian aggression”, while Bahrain’s military said its air defences had also thwarted “treacherous” Iranian attacks. Also on Sunday, Israel’s military said an Iranian missile was fired towards the Jordanian city of Aqaba, as sirens reportedly sounded in Jordan. Iran’s latest attacks follow a series of overnight US strikes on Iran that Washington said aimed to “punish” Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces responsible for earlier attacks in Jordan that killed two US service members. The US military said the strikes also sought to “degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz”.
