Iran War: Iran attacks targets in Kuwait again

Iran's state broadcaster Irib reported that attacks were a response to "American crimes" and targeted US military bases in Kuwait. The attacks come after US military allegedly struck Iranian military facilities, prompting retaliatory strikes by Iran on Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain, which are US allies and host US bases. Iran's Foreign Ministry accused the US of war crimes after a deadly rocket strike on a wedding party in Iran, and warned of a decisive response to a bombing in Kuhestak near the city of Sirik.

Two oil tankers were also reportedly damaged by sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran vowing "punitive measures" against shipping companies that use "illegal routes".
