    Iran Launches Attacks on Gulf States Despite Ceasefire Agreement

    Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates report ongoing Iranian missile and drone strikes targeting critical infrastructure.

    The Kuwaiti military has confirmed sustained attacks from Iran, resulting in significant damage to oil facilities, power plants, and desalination plants. The UAE’s air defense systems are actively responding to these assaults. Earlier reports indicated missile strikes from Bahrain, with explosions observed over Sitra Island, home to oil production sites. Iranian state television has acknowledged these attacks as retaliation for prior bombings of Iranian oil facilities, occurring shortly before a two-week ceasefire was announced by the U.S. and Iran. Israel has stated that the ceasefire does not apply to Lebanon, where military operations against Hezbollah continue.
