Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard launched drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait in response to US airstrikes that hit the Islamic Republic. The attacks damaged a residential building near the international airport in Bahrain and were intercepted by Kuwait’s air defenses.

US Strikes Iranian Military Targets

The US military’s Central Command said it struck Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities on Sunday. The US strikes came after an Iranian drone struck a merchant vessel off the coast of Oman on Thursday.

The incident has raised concerns about the stability of the region and the potential for further escalation. The US and Iran have been engaged in a series of attacks and counter-attacks in recent days, with the US accusing Iran of violating a ceasefire agreement.

Iran Threatens to Halt Talks

The Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the attacks and threatened a complete halt to negotiations to end the war if the US continues its attacks. The Guard, which controls Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal, answers only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
