Gulf states, including the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain, reported being hit by drone and missile strikes allegedly launched from Iran just hours after a US-Iran ceasefire was declared. While air defenses intercepted numerous threats, some attacks caused damage to critical infrastructure. Iran has not yet responded to the allegations made by the Gulf nations.
Despite a US-Iran ceasefire agreement, Gulf states are reporting new waves of missile and drone attacks, casting doubt on the truce's viability. UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain reported defending against Iranian-linked strikes, with Kuwait noting attacks on critical energy infrastructure. Iran reported an attack on its Lavan Island refinery but has not issued an immediate response.
Following coordinated US and Israeli strikes on Iran, Iran retaliated with ballistic missiles and drones targeting Israel and US bases across the Gulf States. Iran's response caused damage in Israel and several Middle Eastern nations. Tensions escalated further as Israel launched massive strikes in Lebanon after attacks by Hezbollah.
