MANAMA / DOHA / ABU DHABI (HRNW)— Iran’s retaliatory offensive against what it describes as “foreign aggression” extended today with missile strikes targeting strategic U.S. military facilities across the Gulf — including the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain — and installations in Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates.
While preliminary reports indicate no confirmed U.S. casualties, several Gulf nations condemned the action, calling it an escalation that threatens regional security and civilian areas.
Political leaders reiterated that military engagement was aimed at curbing alleged threats posed by Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, but critics warn the confrontation risks spiralling far beyond the initial conflict zone.
