Iranretaliates against US strikes with missile attacks on Israel, US bases
Iran has fired missiles and drones at Israel and US bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and the UAE following US-Israeli strikes. Al Jazeera reports Bahrain confirmed targeting of the US Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters, while Qatar intercepted an Iranian missile. Reuters noted an explosion in Abu Dhabi. Iran's Foreign Affairs Ministry stated Israeli attacks violated international law and Iran reserves the right to respond. President Trump warned US lives may be lost and aims for regime change in Iran. This retaliation follows failed nuclear talks and mirrors June 2023 attacks. Gulf countries closed airspace, grounding flights, and evacuating citizens amid fears of wider war.
