Iran fires missiles, drones at US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain

Iran's IRGC said it launched coordinated ballistic-missile and drone strikes against eight US military facilities across the Gulf, including Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait and the US Fifth Fleet site at Port Salman in Bahrain, in retaliation for American strikes on Iranian coastal sites. Kuwait said it intercepted Iranian drones and two missiles without injuries or damage; Bahrain said a residential building in Muharraq was damaged but no one was killed, while Qatar separately reported a civilian killed by shrapnel after a vessel failed to return. The escalation underscores why Israel insists the joint US-Israeli campaign against Iran's nuclear and missile complex must continue: Tehran remains willing to attack American bases on Arab soil, vindicating Jerusalem's view that no durable Middle East stability is possible while the regime stays in power.
