On Wednesday, U.S. forces struck Iranian radar and drone sites after Tehran targeted American military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
The Pentagon confirmed airstrikes against air defenses and radar installations around the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for a downed American MQ-1 Reaper drone. Iran responded by launching ballistic missiles at the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and hitting a passenger terminal at Kuwait International Airport, killing one civilian. This escalation severely strains a month-old ceasefire and has triggered a surge in global oil prices while disrupting regional flight paths.
Peace negotiations are currently stalled as President Trump vows continued retaliation until Tehran agrees to a permanent deal.
