Iran Continues Attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain
(New York Times) Vivian Nereim - Iranian attacks targeted Kuwait and Bahrain on Wednesday, the U.S. military and local authorities said, killing at least one person, injuring more than 60, and disrupting aviation. U.S. Central Command said that a wave of Iranian drones had "failed to hit intended targets" and that no American personnel were harmed in an attempted attack on U.S. forces in Kuwait. Kuwait's foreign ministry said an Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack had seriously damaged the country's international airport. Bahrain said on Wednesday it had intercepted three Iranian missiles and several drones targeting civilian sites. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted an American naval base in Bahrain. The Gulf Arab countries have traditionally relied on the U.S. military to protect them and deter attacks from Iran. Yet the presence of U.S. bases and American troops on their land have made them prime targets.
