United States military officials has said Iran launched seven ballistic missiles toward neighboring Gulf nations of Kuwait and Bahrain, hours after reporting four Iranian “one-way attack” drones were thwarted. In a statement posted to X, US Central Command (CENTCOM) says it intercepted six of the missiles Iran launched and the seventh “did not reach its intended target.” “There are currently no reports of harm to US personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging US 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false,” the statement says.

Kuwait’s military says it’s responding to “hostile” missile and drone attacks, days after an Iranian drone strike on the country’s international airport killed one and wounded dozens. “Kuwaiti air defenses are currently responding to hostile missile and drone attacks,” the military says on X, without specifying their origin.
Claiming responsibility for the attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it targeted American military bases in the two Gulf countries as a response to US strikes on Iranian radar sites earlier in the night. Iran’s Fars news agency reports that the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has shared a sequence of events detailing the latest exchange of fire between US and Iranian forces. According to the IRGC, the clashes began when four oil tankers “guided” by the US military “attempted to illegally exit the Strait of Hormuz”. The IRGC says its navy issued a warning after which one of the “oil tankers was targeted and stopped, and the other offending vessels turned back”. Shortly after, according to the IRGC, “American drones hit a telecommunications port in Qeshm and a port in Sirik with two projectiles.” “We warn the aggressor and child-killing enemy that if these evils are repeated, a limited response will not suffice. You will be responsible for the consequences of the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to the export of oil and gas,” the IRGC said in a statement.
